It is amazing how nice people are to you when they know you're going away.
― Michael Arlen
There comes a stage in life, when you must go away; whether it is because of personal reasons or professional ones, goodbyes are hard, really hard. But, no one can escape them. We get so caught up in our own small world, that we don't want to get out of our comfort zone. But, to achieve your dreams, you just gotta move away from your friends and family, sometimes. You may be going away physically, but people you love will always stay in your heart.
You may be leaving a person who has hurt you or broken your heart. Of course, it will be painful, but it's better to walk away with dignity.
The following collection of goodbye quotes will help you deal with departures without the drama, hopefully. It won't be easy, but it'll be worth it!
