"My, what a peculiar place to have a party. You know, Dinah, we really shouldn't be doing this. [while crawling through the rabbit hole] After all, we've haven't been invited, and curiosity often leads to trouble! [As Alice finishes her sentence, she falls down the hole] Goodbye, Dinah. Goodbye! [while magically floating down the rabbit hole] Well! After this, I shall think nothing of falling down stairs. Goodness. What if I should fall right through the center of the Earth... And come out the other side where people walk upside down? But that's silly."
"It would be so nice if something would make sense for a change."
"[to the pink flamingo mallet] Do you want us both to lose our heads?!"
"[repeated line] Off with her head!"
"And, what were you saying, my dear?"
"A world of wonders in One Great Picture"
"No story in English literature has intrigued me more than Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland. It fascinated me the first time I read it as a schoolboy and as soon as I possibly could after I started making animated cartoons, I acquired the film rights to it. People in his period had no time to waste on triviality, yet Carroll with his nonsense and fantasy furnished a balance between seriousness and enjoyment which everybody needed then and still needs today."

Young though he was, his radiant energy produced such an impression of absolute reliability that Hedgewar made him the first sarkaryavah, or general secretary, of the RSS.
- Gopal Mukund Huddar
Largely because of the influence of communists in London, Huddar's conversion into an enthusiastic supporter of the fight against fascism was quick and smooth. The ease with which he crossed from one worldview to another betrays the fact that he had not properly understood the world he had grown in.
Huddar would have been 101 now had he been alive. But then centenaries are not celebrated only to register how old so and so would have been and when. They are usually celebrated to explore how much poorer our lives are without them. Maharashtrian public life is poorer without him. It is poorer for not having made the effort to recall an extraordinary life.
I regret I was not there to listen to Balaji Huddar's speech [...] No matter how many times you listen to him, his speeches are so delightful that you feel like listening to them again and again.
By the time he came out of Franco's prison, Huddar had relinquished many of his old ideas. He displayed a worldview completely different from that of the RSS, even though he continued to remain deferential to Hedgewar and maintained a personal relationship with him.
