Additional quotes by Dag Hammarskjöld

Do not look back. And do not dream about the future, either. It will neither give you back the past, nor satisfy your other daydreams. Your duty, your reward — your destiny — are here and now.

This accidental
Meeting of possibilities
Calls itself I.

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.

You are your own god – and are surprised when you find that the wolf pack is hunting you across the desolate ice fields of winter. - Dag Hammarskjöld
