"[In a monotone voice after being implanted with a tracking chip in his arm before Q] Ow."
"[To Vesper] You represent the Treasury."
"[Takes documents out of envelope in his vehicle] I love you too, M."
"[Bond returns to his seat in a game of poker after being poisoned] I'm sorry. That last hand... nearly killed me."
"You know, I never understood all these elaborate tortures. It's the simplest thing to cause more pain than a man can possibly endure. And of course, it's not only the immediate agony, but the knowledge that if you do not yield soon enough, there will be little left to identify you as a man. The only question remains: will you yield, in time?"
"Who the hell do they think they are? I report to the Prime Minister, and even he's smart enough not to ask me what we do. Have you ever seen such a bunch of self-righteous, arse-covering prigs? They don't care what we do, they care what we get photographed doing. And how the hell could Bond be so stupid? I give him 00 status, and he celebrates by shooting up an embassy. Is the man deranged? And where the hell is he? In the old days, if an agent did something that embarrassing, he'd have the good sense to defect. Christ, I miss the Cold War!"
"And now he knows something about you. He knows you're reckless. [Steps into a lift elevator, without James] Take the next one. Take the next one. There isn't enough space for me and your ego."
"[Last lines] I'm sorry, James. [The lift she is in falls into water and she drowns]"
"[James and Vesper meets René at an outdoor cafe] My name is Mathis. Rene Mathis. I'm your contact here. [James asks if Le Chiffre is aware of being surveilled] Le Chiffre? I don't think so. Probably because there's no "we." Just me. I'm afraid if you get into trouble here... the cavalry won't be coming over the nearest hill. Le Chiffre arrived yesterday... and spent the time reestablishing old relationships. The chief of police and he are now quite close. That's him, with the mustache. Over my left shoulder. Well, that could make life quite difficult. Yeah, and quite possibly shorter. He's not a very subtle man. I thought about trying to buy his services, but we frankly... couldn't afford to outbid Le Chiffre. [Police cruisers arrive with officers crowding around the police chief] I hate to say it... but the accountants seem to be running Ml6 these days. Oh, not that I have anything against accountants. [Strokes Vesper's shoulder] Many of them are lovely people. So I decided that it was cheaper to supply his deputy... with evidence that we were bribing the chief. It's amazing what you can do with Photoshop these days, isn't it? I think your odds are improving, Mr. Bond."
"Always Bet On Bond"
"Discover how James... became Bond."
"A whisper of love. A whisper of hate."
"Daniel Craig - James Bond"

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.
