"4 Kalki 21:24, 9 January 2007 (UTC) This extends well upon the previous QOTD on Truth by Simone de Beauvoir, though I again object to the far too absolute use of words: Truth is one merit which gives dignity and worth to history, and the study of it — but so is Love, and the Love of Truth and the Truths of Love impel me to distinctly express this, and not rest content with Acton's expression."

"4 Kalki (talk · contributions) 02:37, 4 January 2011 (UTC) * 2 Kalki 14:55, 6 January 2009 (UTC) though I eventually will probably rank this a 3 or even a 4, despite some casual use of absolute words: I can't agree that "bad men" are ever truly "great men" though it is obvious that by great he means "powerful." I would actually prefer to trim this one to the most famous portion of it. but expanded for context to read:"

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.
