#Masks

"Do you think you wear a mask?’‘I’m wearing one right now.’ Valentino smiled softly. ‘We both are.’‘It’s a sad thought.’‘Yes,’ he said. ‘But sometimes I wonder about the alternative. Imagine if we had no secrets, no respite from the truth. What if everything was laid bare the moment we introduced ourselves?"

"The irony of life is that those who wear masks often tell us more truths than those with open faces."

"Seven times have I despised my soul: The sixth time when she despised the ugliness of a face, and knew not that it was one of her own masks."

"I believe in my mask-- The man I made up is meI believe in my dance-- And my destiny"

"Love takes off masks that we fear we cannot live without and know we cannot live within."
