“I would not suggest that they buy a gas mask, ... I would not suggest they go out and buy a lot of (antibiotics). I would strongly just urge them to be more alert than they have in the past.”
Tommy Thompson
“I'm guilty of buying gas mask and plastic wrap after 9/11. I'm ashamed of it. But they're still sitting in my closet.”
Scott Cohen
“We don't recommend buying gas masks since you need to be trained to use them properly, but if you sleep better at night because you have them, go ahead and include those in your disaster kit.”
Darren Irby
“Do you not know that there comes a midnight hour when every one has to throw off his mask? Do you believe that life will always let itself be mocked? Do you think you can slip away a little before midnight in order to avoid this? Or are you not terrified by it? I have seen men in real life who so long deceived others that at last their true nature could not reveal itself;... In every man there is something which to a certain degree prevents him from becoming perfectly transparent to himself; and this may be the case in so high a degree, he may be so inexplicably woven into relationships of life which extend far beyond himself that he almost cannot reveal himself. But he who cannot reveal himself cannot love, and he who cannot love is the most unhappy man of all.”
Soren Kierkegaard
“Love takes off masks that we fear we cannot live without and know we cannot live within.”
James Arthur Baldwin
“Without wearing any mask we are conscious of, we have a special face for each friend.”
Oliver Wendell Holmes
“We aren't hiding behind these masks, we're actually revealing more to you than you might think. The mask I wear brings out all the sh*t inside me that I hate. Plus it hurts like hell, which helps my intensity. If you feel like talking, you talk, if you don't, you don't. So many people are like, 'Gimmick, gimmick, gimmick!' F*ck you! You don't know what we're about! Our motto has always been, 'Music First.' Even if the masks and the coveralls weren't there, the music would still be good.”
