"Was wagt der freche Amor nicht!"
""So bringt ein Zufall Amor oft Gelingen: // Den trifft sein Pfeil, den fängt er sich mit Schlingen."
"Hinterlistig strömt Amor in das arglose, unbewehrte Herz. Dem müßig Herumsitzenden pflegt dieser Knabe nachzustellen, die Tätigen verabscheut er."
"Der Dichter soll nicht ewig Wein // Nicht ewig Amorn necken! // Die Barden müssen Männer seyn // Und Weise seyn, nicht Gecken!"
"Denn Amor ist ein gewalttätiger Tyrann..."
""Amor steckt von Schalkheit voll, // Macht die armen Weiblein toll."- William Shakespeare, Ein Sommernachtstraum III,2"
"Amor ist ein mächtiger Fürst // Und hat mich so gebeugt, daß ich bekenne, // Es gibt kein Weh, das seiner Strafe glich, // Doch gibts nicht größre Lust, als ihm zu dienen."
"Amor ist der größte Spitzbube unter den Göttern, der Widerspruch scheint sein Element zu sein."
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.
