"I'm unstoppable; I'm a Porsche with no brakes."
"Zu Fuß oder mit dem Fahrrad; damals sangen wir den Mädchen ja auch Ständchen unterm Fenster. Heute fahren die Kerle im Porsche vor und hupen bloß noch."
"Stuttgart ist unverstellt, ganz anders als beispielsweise München. München ist eine tolle Stadt, aber du begegnest dort viel mehr Menschen, die nur ihre Fassade zeigen. In Stuttgart hast du Porsche und Bosch, hier wird gearbeitet, und es geht bodenständig und nicht versnobt zu."
"Stuttgart ist eine schöne Stadt, nicht nur Wirtschaftsstandort. Das wird aber oft nicht wahrgenommen. Porsche wird nie von Stuttgart weggehen. Das ist undenkbar."
"Manche Kunden, die einen Porsche kaufen, sparen seit ihrer Kindheit darauf. Wenn die den bestellten Wagen dann in Zuffenhausen abholen, geht ein Lebenstraum in Erfüllung. Ich finde das wunderbar, mit Porsche Lebensträume erfüllen zu können."
"Fahren in seiner schönsten Form."
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.
