“Since it was my mind that got me into this hole, I have to dig myself out by way of the mind. But the real result is a change of feeling. More precisely, a new relation between feelings and the mind.”

“No mask is wholly a mask. (…). Some people, no doubt, do wear their masks as a sheathe for the lithe but insupportable emotions beneath. But surely most people wear a mask to efface what is beneath and become only what the mask represents them to be. More interesting than the mask as concealment or disguise is the mask as projection, as aspiration. Through the mask of my behavior, I do not protect my raw genuine self —I overcome it.”
