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

“When you have reached the point where you no longer expect a response, you will at last be able to give in such a way that the other is able to receive, and be grateful. When Love has matured and, through a dissolution of the self into light, become a radiance, then shall the Lover be liberated from dependence upon the Beloved, and the Beloved also be made perfect by being liberated from the Lover.”
Dag Hammarskjöld, Markings

“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 Hammarskjöld, Markings

“Never, for the sake of peace and quiet, deny your own experience or convictions”
Dag Hammarskjold
