Isn't the fulfillment of our duty towards our neighbor an expression of deepest desire?

Dag Hammarskjold 196 quotes

Beneath the hush a whisper fr...

Beneath the hush a whisper from long ago, promising peace of mind and a burden shared. No peace which is not peace for all, no rest until all has been fulfilled.

Dag Hammarskjold 196 quotes

Fatigue dulls the pain, but a...

Fatigue dulls the pain, but awakes enticing thoughts of death. So! that is the way in which you are tempted to overcome your loneliness -- by making the ultimate escape from life. -- No! It may be that death is to be your ultimate gift to life: it must not be an act of treachery against it.

The truth is so simple that it is regarded as a pretentious banality.

Dag Hammarskjold 196 quotes

For the sacrificed, in the ho...

For the sacrificed, in the hour of sacrifice, only one thing counts: faith-alone among enemies and skeptics. Faith, in spite of the humiliation which is both the necessary precondition and the consequence of faith, faith without any hope of compensation other than he can find in a faith which reality seems so thoroughly to refute.

The life of simplicity is simple, but it opens to us a book in which we never get beyond the first syllable.

Dag Hammarskjold 196 quotes

To preserve the silence withi...

To preserve the silence within--amid all the noise. To remain open and quiet, a moist humus in the fertile darkness where the rain falls and the grain ripens--no matter how many tramp across the parade ground in whirling dust under an arid sky.

Dag Hammarskjold 196 quotes

The dizziness in the face of ...

The dizziness in the face of les espaces infinis--only overcome if we dare to gaze into them without any protection. And accept them as the reality before which we must justify our existence. For this is the truth we must reach to live, that everything is and we just in it.

Dag Hammarskjold 196 quotes

At some moment I did answer "...

At some moment I did answer "Yes" to someone or something. And from that hour on I was certain that existence is meaningful.

Like the bee, we distill poison from honey for our self-defense--what happens to the bee if it uses its sting is well known.

Perhaps a great love is never returned.

You take the pen, and the lines dance. You take the flute and the notes shimmer. You take the brush, and the colors sing. So all things have meaning and beauty in that space beyond time where you are. How, then, can I hold back anything from you?

Dag Hammarskjold 196 quotes

You wake from dreams of doom ...

You wake from dreams of doom and--for a moment--you know: beyond all the noise and the gestures, the only real thing, love's calm unwavering flame in the half-light of an early dawn.

Dag Hammarskjold 196 quotes

Do not look back and do not d...

Do not look back and do not dream about the future. It will neither give you back the past, nor satisfy your other daydreams. Your duty, your reward, your destiny, is in the present moment

The UN wasn't created to take mankind into paradise, but rather, to save humanity from hell.

Humility is just as much the opposite of self-abasement as it is of self-exaltation. To be humble is not to make comparisons. Secure in its reality, the self is neither better nor worse, bigger nor smaller, than anything else in the universe. It is ? is nothing, yet at the same time one with everything. It is in this sense that humility is absolute self-effacement.

We all have within us a center of stillness surrounded by silence.

Dag Hammarskjold 196 quotes

The light died in the low clouds. Falling snow drank in the dusk. Shrouded in silence, the branches wrapped me in their peace. When the boundaries were erased, once again the wonder: that *I* exist.

Doffing the ego's safe glory, he finds his naked reality.
