Quote by Dag Hammarskjold
I dont know Who -- or what -- put the question, I dont know when i

I dont know Who — or what — put the question, I dont know when it was put. I dont even remember answering. But at some moment I did answer Yes to Someone –or Something –and from that hour I was certain that existence is meaningful and that, therefore, my life, in self-surrender, had a goal. – Dag Hammarskjold
