"[about Justine Gandy] It was a Wednesday and she was going to her classroom just like every morning. But this day was different. This day, none of her kids were there. Every other class at that school had all their kids. Even the other third grade class that Mrs. Belt taught was full. But Mrs. Gandy’s room was totally empty. Well... not totally. There was one boy there. His name was Alex Lilly and he was the only kid in a class of eighteen that came to school that day. And do you know why? He was the only one there because the night before at 2:17 in the morning, every other kid in Mrs. Gandy’s third grade class woke up... got out of bed... walked downstairs, opened the front door... walked across the front yard and into the dark... and they never came back."
"Captain Ed: Mr. Graff, I can understand your passion, and I don't mind having these conversations with you because god forbid if it was my child, I'd be demanding answers too. Those kids walked out of those homes; no one pulled them out. No one forced them. What do you see that I don't?"

"One night before they did, they had a big meeting at the school with all the teachers and all the parents. There were a bunch of counselors and people like that to help everyone figure out how to feel and how to be sad together I guess. This is where the story really starts."
"Toby Huss - Ed Locke"
"I... First I want to just say how very sorry I am for all of... what’s happened. I know there’s nothing I can say to make this better. The truth is, I want an answer just as bad as all of you. I love those kids. I know it’s-- I know it’s not the same as how you love them but... believe me I really loved those children and I’ve spent every waking moment since... that day asking myself what could have happened. I wish I had some insight or explanation but I just don’t have one. I just--"
"I can make your parents hurt themselves. I can make them hurt each other. I can make them eat each other if I want to. Do I want to, Alex?"

"This is a true story that happened right here in my town two years ago. A lot of people die in a lot of really weird ways in this story but you won’t find it in the news or anywhere like that because the police and top people in this town were like so embarrassed about not being able to solve it that they covered everything all up."

"How the hell did we miss you? You and I should've met years ago. Danny? That's your name, isn't it? Well, something happens to the Steam when you rubes get older. It gets polluted. Dirty. You know that. I see the grease all over you. You don't Shine quite the same. Growing up spoils that, I guess. Seriously, Handsome... where have you been hiding?"
"We go on, after. We go on."
"[to Dan, while taking his Steam] You taste like whiskey."
"Nothing to be scared of. Just going to sleep. Finally, true, restful sleep."

"[repeated line] Well, hi there."
"[eulogizing Grandpa Flick] You watched empires rise and fall. Cheered the Gladiators in Rome. Sailed across oceans to new worlds. You fed on kings and princes and popes... They wrote myths of you and made statues, and they trembled in their villages and beds and skyscrapers. So, no. You're not scared. You're a king. And you eat fear."
"We never wanted to see snow again, so we lived in Florida. Tiny place, but it was comfortable and we were happy. I mean, we were grieving. We were traumatized. But there was happiness, too. And she-- She would look away. She'd look at me, but she'd always look away after a second or two. Took me a while to notice it, but after the overlook, she wouldn't look me in the eyes. Not for long. I couldn't figure it out. It was you. She saw your eyes in me and she'd have to look away. It tortured her to have to do that, so I fixed it. I fixed it for her and it was the last time I ever used it. So that she wouldn't see you anymore when she looked at me. I was 20 when she died. And back then, I saw when someone was gonna die. I saw flies. Black flies. "Death flies," I called them, circling people's faces. And in those last weeks, she was covered... Her whole face. I could barely see her eyes. And I... I tried to comfort her, but I could hardly look at her. And she saw that. She just lay there dying, with her son who couldn't look at her."

"Dare to go back."
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.
