HAMNET: When Grief Forgets the Play

When Grief Forgets the Play (Spoilers Ahead!)There are films you admire, and films that move you. They are not always the same thing.I watched Hamnet wanting to be undone. Wanting that slow, intimate devastation the book achieved so effortlessly on the page. Maggie O’Farrell (one of my favourite writers) writes grief the way weather writes itself into stone. Patiently.

Quotes by Marwa Ayad  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“I'm THAT complex, mysterious, yet content with the simple things in life. Don't try to understand me; you won't figure me out. But you're free to like me the way I am.”
Marwa Ayad

“How life teaches us, breaks us, rewards us, and tears us apart... how it lifts us up and brings us down... the wonder of life.”
Marwa Ayad

“Isn't it the unexpected that teaches us the most?”
Marwa Ayad

“Don’t walk in front of me… I may not follow
Don’t walk behind me… I may not lead
Walk beside me… just be my friend”
Albert Camus

“So many books, so little time.”
Frank Zappa

“You only live once, but if you do it right, once is enough.”
Mae West

“The opposite of love is not hate, it's indifference. The opposite of art is not ugliness, it's indifference. The opposite of faith is not heresy, it's indifference. And the opposite of life is not death, it's indifference.”
Elie Wiesel

“All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
A light from the shadows shall spring;
Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
The crownless again shall be king.”
J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring
