"Crysta...help it grow."
"Mmm. Delicious. A first class smoke. Mother's milk. What is this delightful thing? And how did I get out of that tree? Of course! Humans. What wonderful creatures. So clever, so helpful. I must take this human thing to... FernGully!"
"What a miraculous device. I'm really getting the hang of this! I do believe we are destined to be soulmates. [crawls to the Leveler's engine to absorb power] HIT ME ONE TIME...HIT ME TWICE! [absorbs energy as he grows into true form; grunts and moans satisfyingly] That's rather nice."
"Hahaha, I'm back!"
"A fairy fortification!"
"[to Tony and Ralph] Keep it moving, boys!"
"[last words] What...happened...to the...energy?!"

"Oh, gravity works."
"Why do I not believe you?"

"You know, Zak, truth doesn't always win friends, but it certainly influences people. You're not half-bad for a hominid."

"[to Zak, after saving him from falling] You need a set of your own wings!"
"[first lines, narrating] Our world was much larger then. The forest went on forever. We tree spirits nurtured the harmony of all living things, but our closest friends were humans. Then, as sometimes happens, the balance of nature shifted...and Hexxus, the very spirit of destruction, rose up from the bowels of the earth and rained down his poison. The forest was nearly destroyed, many lives were lost, and the humans fled in fear, never to return. Most think they didn't survive. It was only by calling up the magical powers of nature, that I was able to trap Hexxus inside an enchanted tree, and save FernGully."
"There are worlds within worlds, Crysta. Everything in our world is connected by the delicate strands of the web of life, which is a balance between the forces of destruction and the magical forces of creation."
"Since the dawn of time, we have been the guardians and the healers of the forest. We have too long forgotten the magic powers of nature. The time has come to call on them again. ...Remember, all of the magic of creation exists within a single tiny seed."
"Of course I am. What about you? Are you really a human?"
"Well, it was the most amazing thing. [She walks upside under the tree.] Of course, it's not what the spell is really supposed to do. But Magi Lune will fix you."
"That's a human?"
"Stop! He's a human!"
"And that's good... I mean, cool?"
"Oh, I know. By those red marks. It can't go past them. Well, they must be magic."
"This is FernGully."
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.
