"There is a difference between a man who doesn’t have any money and a man who doesn’t care, if a man doesn’t care its bad."
"When someone is inconsistent with their words just to hide the truth, he gives three different responses on one issue."
"There is no retirement in acting. I know that veterans like Idowu Phillips (Iya Rainbow), Jide Kosoko, Adebayo Salami (Oga Bello), Toyin Afolayan (Lola Idije) and Fausat Balogun (Madam Saje) are still acting.

"One thing should be kept at the back of our mind; if they don’t talk about you, you’ll never prosper in life. Who is talking about the dead now?

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.
