Top 10 Best "Goodbye" Quotes

I'm not all that good with goodbyes, so I'll just offer up my own little question. When does a man die? Is it when he's shot over a thousand times? Or when he is executed through brutal means? Or when he dies of a horrible disease? No. A man dies when he is forgotten.

Let these words ring true. No matter what, whether you're separated from your dearest friends or losing your dearest loved ones, know this: you'll see them somehow, someway, somewhere, just as long as you do your best to keep their memories alive.

Thank you. It touched me. Yeah, true friendship will never die. I really appreciate this. Awesome and really cool. I like it a lot.

But it's pretty sad to realize that I'm not going to see my best friend for a long time.

This has touched me and the heart of my best friend and her family. Sadly, they're packing their bags and moving to a different state. I know how it feels to lose someone so close to you.

Now that I think about it, that is true. I am glad that I have someone who was my everything, that it hurt to say goodbye.

True. It took me forever to say goodbye to my coach who left for a different school, as well as to friends and another coach I had. I love those friends and coaches, especially the first one. He became like a second father and practically adopted me. It's tough.

Love it and, in fact, shared it on Facebook when I left my family and friends and studied overseas. So far, it has been one of my favorite quotes.

Warning: sad story about goodbyes like these.

I have always been a shy, secretive, and awkward person. I had a huge crush on this boy named Jake in the 5th grade, but I was determined not to show it. I knew I was weird. He was popular, cute, and mysterious. However, when we started texting out of the blue, I got to meet a side of him that no one knew. And he met a side of me that no one knew. He looked at me differently than any other girl, and I knew he had feelings for me. But I was scared. I was weird, shy, and almost the opposite of him, so I didn't show any affection.

Until the 9th grade, we stayed in contact until we just started falling apart. Even though we didn't talk anymore, I still had immensely strong feelings for him. And when we occasionally bumped into each other in the halls, I could tell he wasn't over me either.

Randomly in the middle of my junior year, he left. Without warning, he moved. I had to hear it from one of his friends during class. It was after winter break. He didn't even say goodbye. I knew him better than anyone, and I saw past his popular jerk status. He opened up to me. And more importantly, I opened up to him.

And just one day like that, he was gone. But he didn't stop to subtly tweet this exact quote the day I found out about his move.

I was the only one who didn't know he was moving.

I have just said goodbye to a true and gentle friend. My heart is sore at his leaving because we are now touching sixty and have known each other all our lives. He is going to the far side of the world, and I don't know if we shall ever meet again.

I wish I could have said the quote above, as I hope it is true.

Yes... True friendship is forever.

Somebody told me it is a quote by Jimi Hendrix, but I really don't know for sure.

Anyway, it's irrelevant who said it - the quality matters.

An amazing quote, obviously deeply thought about. It's so true, though, what good has anyone got in saying goodbye? I know it's never done me any good.

Very simple and speaks for itself. It doesn't need a lengthy explanation. There is just hardly anything good about saying goodbye.

My friend is being transferred to Mexico. I miss her already. See you is so much easier: see you soon, write me, call me, and never say goodbye.

For people who don't know, this quote comes from the greatest movie of all time, The Fox and the Hound. It's when Widow Tweed has to let Tod go to protect him. It's such a sad scene, but it's sad in a beautiful way!

This saying has always held so much love in it for me. It makes me cry each time I hear it, even in The Fox and the Hound.

Goodbye may seem forever. Farewell is like the end, but in my heart is the memory, and you will be there with the rest.

If you have never felt what goodbye really means and have tasted the back of your tongue, you're not ready to let that person go.

Goodbyes are words that are adamant to come out not only from the tongue but from the poor heart.

This quote isn't the best one here, but it should definitely be remembered.

I just thought of this and liked it!

Fantastic! I found it so relevant.

My ex-boyfriend broke up with me a little while ago. I'm still hurt, and I'd do anything to get him back. But now I see that someone new can come along, say hello, and start a wonderful new chapter.

Even if you are saying goodbye to someone because they passed away, they will still be in your heart.

That is what happened to me. It hurts so bad because I do not know from the bottom of my heart what happened.

The worst is not knowing what went wrong.

It is true. I have been through this experience for the first time in my life when I had to say goodbye to someone very close to my heart. He did not answer, and later I realized why.

This gives everyone a chance to one day meet again.

Correct wording to write on a board without making much noise.

Today I moved from a school that I've been at my whole life. Truthfully, I always complained about it, but my leave was very abrupt, as in we left in a week. So for my parting Facebook status, I used this. Over 80 likes, I'm going to miss it.

Yes, when we say goodbye to one, it's sure we are leaving them and moving far where we meet another new friend, so we discover something new, isn't it?

I love this! I moved to another country with only my mum and my younger brother, thus having to say goodbye to every friend and family member. It was the most heartbreaking experience. However, when back in my home country for a holiday, saying goodbye was easiest because there was always the next day.
