Evey Hammond: Who are you? V: Who? Who is but the form following the function of what and what I am is a man in a mask. Evey Hammond: Well I can see that. V: Of course you can.

About This Quote

The line from the movie V for Vendetta is a humorous way of making fun of those who claim to have all the answers. In this quote, V tells Evey that she can see his identity because she is a woman. But, as she notices, he is wearing a mask. This is a reminder that we cannot always reveal what makes us different from everyone else.
