About This Quote
The irony of life is that those who wear masks often tell us more truths than those with open faces. This quote helps show how people can hide their true emotions while still having the power to say quite a few things that are wise and true. The famous Shakespeare play, "The Merchant of Venice", was based on the story of a merchant who had lied about his wealth in order to avoid paying taxes. Although he was trying to lie, however, he revealed more truth in his disguise than he could have ever hidden if he had been honest. Often, people are able to reveal truths when they are concealing them through art or any other means.
