“Do not mistake me for my mask. You see light dappling on the water and forget the deep, cold dark beneath.”

“Like most hearts, it was complicated, shaded with dark and dappled with light.”

“You wear a mask for so long, you forget who you were beneath it.”

“With all memory and fate driven deep beneath the waves, let me forget about today until tomorrow.”

“The water is DEEP AND DARK AND DANGEROUS”

“For see, the dapple-grey coursers of the morn
Beat up the light with their bright silver hoofs,
And chase it through the sky.”

“Our apparitions, the things you know us by, are simply childish. Beneath it is all dark, it is all spreading, it is unfathomably deep; but now and again we rise to the surface and that is what you see us by.”

“You are my sunlight in the dark and the ground beneath my feet.”

“It's a terrible thing to be alone — yes it is — it is — but don't lower your mask until you have another mask prepared beneath — as terrible as you like — but a mask.”

“If you spent your life concentrating on what everyone else thought of you, would you forget who you really were? What if the face you showed the world turned out to be a mask… with nothing beneath it?”
