"Andrews: About half, actually. I installed these new welin type davits which can take an extra row of boats here...but it was thought, by some, that the deck would look too cluttered, so, I was over-ruled. But you can sleep soundly, young Rose. I have built a ship strong, safe and true. She is as unsinkable as it is possible to make a ship, and she can handle a collision impressively. If the ship ever is sinking, just remember what I told you about these lifeboats. You must decide to get in."

"Lewis Bodine: [narrating an animation of the Titanic sinking] Okay here we go; she hits the ‘berg on the starboard side, right? She kinda bumps along punching holes like Morse code ‘deet-deet-deet’, along the side, below the water line. Then the forward compartments start to flood. Now as the water level rises it spills over the watertight bulk heads which unfortunately don’t go any higher than E Deck, so now as the bow goes down, the stern rises up. Slow at first then faster and faster until finally she’s got her whole ass is sticking up in the air, and that’s a big ass, we’re talking 20-30,000 TONS. And the hull’s not designed to deal with that pressure so what happens? “KEEG” she splits. Right down to the keel and the stern falls back level. Then as the bow sinks it pulls the stern vertical then finally detaches. Now the stern section kinda bobs there like a cork for a couple of minutes, floods, then finally goes under about 2:20 A.M., 2 hours and 40 minutes after the collision. The bow section planes away landing about half a mile away going 20-30 knots when it hits the ocean floor, “BOOM”. Pretty cool, huh?"

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.
