"0 Kalki 14:51, 22 December 2007 (UTC) I might give this a 1 or even a 2 some other date of the Christmas season, but I feel it ranks as a zero for Christmas day itself. 1 ~ Kalki 22:35, 23 December 2005 (UTC) (Ellison is an interesting writer and personality, but on this I am inclined to quote an old cartoon: "Bah, Humbug to you too, you old fart!")"

"0 — I was actually inclined to perhaps rank this a 4, and use this, this year, as I had nothing clearly better in mind, but what searches I have done leaves me concluding that it is probably not John Greenleaf Whittier, and its origin remains obscure. ~ ♞☤☮♌︎Kalki ⚚⚓︎⊙☳☶⚡ 22:35, 24 December 2017 (UTC)"

"4 Optimistically, this quote is more suitable now than it will be next year; I would have ranked this at maybe a 2 last year, being as it's from a dedication to an unpublished short story. CensoredScribe (talk) 18:46, 23 December 2022 (UTC)"
"1 ♞☤☮♌︎Kalki ⚚⚓︎⊙☳☶⚡ 23:58, 24 December 2022 (UTC); I perceive this to be far too long and meandering to be a good QOTD, and frankly far too dreary and pessimistc to be a good Christmas quote. It clearly was written in a dark mood, for which Serling can surely be pardoned, but I much prefer what hopefulness could endure in him, despite such dark spells. I have added a few quotes showing signs of such hope below, and though I believe Serlings page needs some work, major page editing here is something I am currently avoiding until I return home in a few weeks."

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.
