About This Quote
Marco Polo said, “The truth was only another mask, even if it was the best fit, the closest to skin and all that lay beneath.” To most people, the truth is an absolute thing. It is something they can accept without thought. But to Marco Polo, it was merely another mask with which to hide his own true identity. He still knew there was something more beneath the surface of reality than what he could see on the surface.
