"Роблю сонячні квіти, бо люблю людей, роблю на щастя людям, щоб квіти мої були, як саме життя народу, щоб усі народи один одного любили, щоб люди жили, як квіти б цвіли б на всій землі."
"subject creates style; nature suggests style."
"I regarded myself as an explorer, and the explorer has no use for smoothly paved roads. He needs the rough terrain of the wilderness."
"Although I made radical attempts to break away from my former habits in printmaking, I was still not completely liberated from my first and strongest influence. Despite the highly simplified and almost abstractly patternlike approach of my new experiments, I was still a slave to the simple frame. My prints still had a border even if I constantly asked why they should. It is an irony and a cause for the artist to be humble that he needs so much time and so much effort, as I needed, to liberate himself from the tiny frame. Such is the power of habit."
"The woodcuts of Jacques Hnizdovsky represent some of the freshest and most original printmaking in American graphic arts of the past thirty years"
"І що б я не робила, куди б не йшла, а думи про малювання завжди, як вірний друг, зі мною."
"Доля випробовує тих, хто намірився іти до великої мети, але сильних духом не спіймає ніхто, вони зі стиснутими руками вперто і сміливо ідуть до наміченої мети. І тоді доля винагороджує їх сторицеєю і відкриває перед ними всі таємниці дійсно прекрасного і незрівнянного мистецтва."
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.

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.
