"When I was a kid, my mother told me that I was a little piece of blue sky that came into this world cause she and dad loved me so much. It was only later that I realized that it wasn't exactly true. Most babies are coincidences. I mean up in space you've got all of these souls flying around, looking for bodies to live in, then down here on earth two people have sex or whatever and bam, coincidence. Sure you hear all these stories about how everyone plans these perfect families. But the truth is, most babies are products of drunken evenings and lack of birth control. They're accidents. Only people who have trouble making babies actually plan for them. I on the other hand, am not a coincidence. I was engineered, born for a particular reason. A scientist hooked up my mother's eggs and my father's sperm to make a specific combination of genes. He did it to save my sister's life."
"Sometimes I wonder what would have happened if Kate had been healthy, I'd probably still be up in heaven or wherever, waiting to be attached to a body down here on earth, but coincidence or not, I'm here."
"That's my sister Kate. She's dying."
"I'm important too, Mom! I'm important too!"
"That's my Mom and Aunt Kelly making dinner. Since my sister got sick, things have changed, Aunt Kelly only works part time and Mom quit her job as a lawyer. Her life now revolves around keeping Kate alive, cooking and cleaning, everything steamed, organic, and germ-free. I guess you could say we're a little dysfunctional, but we all love each other and we do the best we can."
"Once upon a time I thought I was put on earth to save my sister. And in the end I couldn't do it. I realize now that wasn't the point. The point was I had a sister. She was fantastic. One day I'm sure I'll see her again. But until then our relationship continues..."
"It's hard to imagine now, that there was a time before all this happened, when the kids were just kids and everyone was happy"
"Oncology? But that's cancer."
"I'm not going to let her die. You know that, right?"
"The radiation, which ultimately put Kate into remission, worked its magic by wearing her down. Taylor Ambrose, a drug of an entirely different sort, worked his magic by building her up."
"Nobody is saying anything, but seeing everyone together let's me know that this is serious. Our family is kind of disconnected. Dad's relatives are wealthy and distant, and Mom's side drive her crazy. So besides Aunt Kelly, we never get to really see everybody except on holidays or disasters."
"You know you're nuts, right?"
"She kicked the door down?!"
"Do I look pretty, Daddy?"
"I don't mind my disease killing me, but it's killing my family, too."

"When Anna Fitzgerald first stepped into my office I thought she was selling girl scout cookies."

"The kid wasn't lying. The doctor started taking things from her the moment she was born. Cord blood as an infant, white blood cell transfusions, bone marrow, lymphocytes, injections to add more stem cells, then they took them, too, but it was never enough."

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.
