We all wear masks, and the time comes when we cannot remove them without removing some of our own skin.”
― André Berthiaume
“We understand how dangerous a mask can be. We all become what we pretend to be.” ― Patrick Rothfuss, The Name of the Wind
“The irony of life is that those who wear masks often tell us more truths than those with open faces.” ― Marie Lu, The Rose Society
“Nothing is more real than the masks we make to show each other who we are.” ― Christopher Barzak, The Love We Share Without Knowing
