“There is a face beneath this mask, but it isn't me. I'm no more that face than I am the muscles beneath it, or the bones beneath that.”
“Behind this mask there is more than just flesh. Beneath this mask there is an idea... and ideas are bulletproof.”
“I say what other people only think, and when all the rest of the world is in a conspiracy to accept the mask for the true face, mine is the rash hand that tears off the plump pasteboard, and shows the bare bones beneath.”
“..he understood far more deeply than anyone else the loneliness that lurked beneath his jaunty mask.”
“Masks beneath masks until suddenly the bare bloodless skull.”
“One day I will know the face of love...it shall gaze back at me from a pool of water, undisturbed by what lies beneath.”
