Hamnet Quotes
Every life has its kernel, its hub, its epicentre, from which everything flows out, to which everything returns.
from Hamnet book by Maggie O’Farrell
What is given may be taken away, at any time. Cruelty and devastation wait for you around corners, inside coffers, behind doors: they can leap out at you at any moment, like a thief or brigand. The trick is never to let down your guard. Never think you are safe.
from Hamnet book by Maggie O’Farrell
How could Fate be so cruel in setting her such a trap? To make her concentrate on the wrong child so that it could reach out, while she was distracted, and snatch the other?
from Hamnet book by Maggie O’Farrell
Anyone, who describes dying as ‘slipping away’ or ‘peaceful’ has never witnessed it happen. Death is violent, death is a struggle. The body clings to life, as ivy to a wall, and will not easily let go, will not surrender its grip without a fight.
from Hamnet book by Maggie O’Farrell
How is anyone ever to shut the eyes of their dead child? How is it possible to find two pennies and rest them there, in the eye sockets, to hold down the lids? How can anyone do this? It is not right. It cannot be.
from Hamnet book by Maggie O’Farrell
You see, you cannot change what you are given, cannot bend or alter what is dealt to you.
from Hamnet book by Maggie O’Farrell
Gardens don’t stand still: they are always in flux.
