“A mask does not hide who you are, it shows exactly what you want others to see.”

“Sometimes you have to show them what they want to see in order to get them to show you who they really are.”

“And as you wait for something that may never happen, you’ll continue to hide behind a wall of your own making. You’re afraid if you showed a woman who you really are, she will not love you. So, you choose to hide your true self behind a mask of arrogance.”

“I bare my nakedness to the world that the world may see who I am; not the mask that hides my flaws, not the mask that hides my beauty. I bask in the light and I take off the mask!”

“Come you masters of warYou that build all the gunsYou that build the death planesYou that build the big bombsYou that hide behind wallsYou that hide behind desksI just want you to knowI can see through your masks.”

“What a lovely balance. Lend shows whatever he wants the world to see and you see through whatever the world wants to show you.”
