I think I remember Hammarskold's book, Markings, on my bookshelves years ago, but I've given up the search. I Googled his name and found he was a Swedish diplomat, economist, and author.
According to Google, he died in a plane crash in 1953, "the most enduring mystery of the United Nations and African history."
I might omit a "never" - or even both "nevers" from Hammarskold's quote because there might be instances where peace would be more important than my experience. Let me know if you can think of one or more. Overall, I think denying experience to keep peace is a dangerous strategy but that may be a discussion for another post.
Another mystery to explore.
Let me know if you think both nevers are necessary! When is it difficult for you to claim your own truth?
Thanks for exploring the mystery - Nicky Mendenhall
