"Where we see things that are not good for Venezuela because of our experience and our love for the country, we are going to speak up unashamedly because that is part of our mission."
"Journalist: Does the devil exist? Arturo Sosa: In several ways. You have to understand the cultural elements to refer to this character. In the language of Saint Ignatius it is the evil spirit that leads you to do things that go against the spirit of God. It exists as evil personified in different structures but not in people, because it is not a person, it is a way of carrying out evil. He is not a person like a human person is. It is a way of evil being present in human life. Good and evil are in constant struggle in human consciousness, and we have ways of indicating them. We recognize God as good, entirely good. Symbols are part of reality, and the devil exists as a symbolic reality, not as a personal reality."
"Let us ask God that all human beings, especially believers, will learn to be thankful for the gift of life that God has given us and that those who govern the destinies of the nations will establish laws that respect and defend that gift."
"We all have a responsibility in forging a more dignified Venezuela, but not in violent forms. The right to protest is a civil right granted by the Constitution that the State must recognize. No one can deny or hide that there is rampant violence and insecurity. the State must assume its role of governing for all citizens and not just for one faction."
"There are several elements that must be taken into account if you really want peace in Venezuela.

To have peace there must be justice, because there can be no peace if there is no justice."
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.
