Speeches and Statements by Dag Hammarskjöld, Secretary-General of the United Nations 1953-1961
Dag Hammarskjöld, Secretary-General of the United Nations from 1953 to 1961, was a practical visionary. Step by step, he advanced the position of the UN and his own role in world politics. At the same time, he defined the ideals of the UN and gave the world organization an ethical dimension. He demanded the leadership of law over power: only with a foundation in international law can peace be achieved, and only within the framework of peace can human rights be fully developed. Kaj Falkman has selected Hammarskjöld's statements made in speeches or before colleagues or the media. The quotes are thematically organized.

"Perhaps the greatest testament of personal devotion published in this century." — The New York Times A powerful journal of poems and spiritual meditations recorded over several decades by a universally known and admired peacemaker. A dramatic account of spiritual struggle, Markings has inspired hundreds of thousands of readers since it was first published in 1964. Markings is distinctive, as W.H. Auden remarks in his foreword, as a record of "the attempt by a professional man of action to unite in one life the via activa and the via contemplativa ." It reflects its author's efforts to live his creed, his belief that all men are equally the children of God and that faith and love require of him a life of selfless service to others. For Hammarskjöld, "the road to holiness necessarily passes through the world of action." Markings is not only a fascinating glimpse of the mind of a great man, but also a moving spiritual classic that has left its mark on generations of readers.
