“ I do not believe that sheer suffering teaches. If suffering alone taught, all the world would be wise, since everyone suffers. To suffering must be added mourning, understanding, patience, love, openness, and the willingness to remain vulnerable. ”

“ For Sayonara, literally translated, 'Since it must be so,' of all the goodbys I have heard is the most beautiful. Unlike the Auf Wiedershens and Au revoirs, it does not try to cheat itself by any bravado 'Till we meet again,' any sedative to postpone the pain of separation. It does not evade the issue like the sturdy blinking Farewell. Farewell is a father's goodby. It is 'Go out in the world and do well, my son.' It is encouragement and admonition. It is hope and faith. But it passes over the significance of the moment; of parting it says nothing. It hides its emotion. It says too little. While Goodby ('God be with you') and Adios say too much. They try to bridge the distance, almost to deny it. Goodby is a prayer, a ringing cry. 'You must not go I cannot bear to have you go! But you shall not go alone, unwatched. God will be with you. God's hand will over you' and even underneath, hidden, but it is there, incorrigible 'I will be with you; I will watch you always.' It is a mother's goodby. But Sayonara says neither too much nor too little. It is a simple acceptance of fact. All understanding of life lies in its limits. All emotion, smoldering, is banked up behind it. But it says nothing. It is really the unspoken goodby, the pressure of a hand, 'Sayonara. ”

“ Parting is inevitably painful, even for a short time. It's like an amputation, I feel a limb is being torn off, without which I shall be unable to function. And yet, once it is done... life rushes back into the void, richer, more vivid and fuller than before. ”
