The return makes one love the farewell.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
'The Return Of The King' has a conclusion.
It's always difficult to say goodbye, especially when one has spent a long time - literally years, in the case of a series - inside a character or two, suffering and celebrating with them.
I rewrote the ending to 'Farewell to Arms,' the last page of it, thirty-nine times before I was satisfied.
Unless one says goodbye to what one loves, and unless one travels to completely new territories, one can expect merely a long wearing away of oneself and an eventual extinction.
The love that lasts longest is the love that is never returned.
Farewell, dearest friend, never to see one another any more till at the right hand of Christ.
There's a trick to the Graceful Exit. It begins with the vision to recognize when a job, a life stage, a relationship is over - and to let go. It means leaving what's over without denying its value.
Farewell, fair cruelty.
Of joys departed, not to return, how painful the remembrance.
All farewells should be sudden, when forever.
