Famous quotes containing the words black and/or mask:

    Ach, Mutter,
    This old, black dress,
    I have been embroidering
    French flowers on it.
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    We never really are the adults we pretend to be. We wear the mask and perhaps the clothes and posture of grown-ups, but inside our skin we are never as wise or as sure or as strong as we want to convince ourselves and others we are. We may fool all the rest of the people all of the time, but we never fool our parents. They can see behind the mask of adulthood. To her mommy and daddy, the empress never has on any clothes—and knows it.
    Frank Pittman (20th century)
