Death Quotes 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.
  • There is nothing after you die. There is the soil and there is the body and it all comes to nothing.
