"The Muse Clio plays her lyre, as melodious as memory, seated on a frightful mountain of corpses – she tries to evoke, from the dead of the deceased centuries, figures more alive than those of us today. (Andrea Emo)"
"Because basically, things – open space or not is only the absence of the body at every point? This is why Urania is older than Clio."
"Clio in a dove-colored dress, He adorns his temple with a laurel halo. A triumphant fanfare in one hand, in the second, a volume of ancient history. This is how he poses for posterity"

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.
