Best Goodbye/tragic parting scenes

Lost love and tragic departures in romance can sometimes be cliched in movies, but occasionally you get well written dialogue that immortalizes a scene. What quotable lines do you recall from to lovers being torn apart in a film stuck with you?

Not from lovers but from mother and child. Nothing comes close to the power of the scene in Sophie's Choice

As for the topic, The Adjustment Bureau is great for it.

Father and child, has to be Bruce Willis/Liv Tyler in Armageddon. That was hella sad.

On topic, Casablanca, 2005 King Kong, and Titanic for me.
All has awesome 'goodbyes' in one form or another.

Not lovers in either case at all, but Frodo leaving for the Grey Havens in RotK made me weep, and Terminator 2 is right there with it with perhaps the best one-liner in film history.
