Tuesday Trivia: December 30, 2008

Lala
New this month from the University of Nebraska Press is Farewell to Sport by Paul Gallico. For fourteen years during the golden age of sports, Paul Gallico was one of America’s ace sportswriters. He saw them all—the stars and the hams, the immortals and the phonies in boxing, wrestling, baseball, football, golf, tennis, and every other field of muscular endeavor. But before he departed the world of sports, he left his legions of fans one last hurrah: a collection of his best sports essays. This week Tuesday Trivia is going to quiz you on some other famous farewells, are you ready to bid adieu reader?

Match the Quotes with their Quoters:

1.    Adieu, adieu, adieu! remember me.
2.    Be good.
3.    All farewells should be sudden, when forever.
4.    Faithless is he that says farewell when the road darkens.
5.    We only part to meet again.
6.    Happy trails to you, until we meet again.
7.    May the road rise up to meet you, may the wind be ever at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face and the rain fall softly on your fields. And until we meet again, May God hold you in the hollow of his hand.
8.    A farewell is necessary before we can meet again, and meeting again, after moments or a lifetime is certain for those who are friends.
9.    Why can't we get all the people together in the world that we really like and then just stay together? I guess that wouldn't work. Someone would leave. Someone always leaves and then we have to say good-bye. I hate good-byes. I know what I need. I need more hellos.
10.    Don't cry because it's over. Smile because it happened.
