Quotes About Disguise

Por doquier la máscara, el disfraz, lo vestido, la verdad de lo desnudo. El verdadero sujeto de la repetición es la máscara.

~ Graham Greene
Why, he wondered, swerving the car to avoid a dead pye-dog, do I love this place so much? Is it because here human nature hasn't had time to disguise itself? Nobody here could ever talk about a heaven on earth.

To hide in the Mesh, software broke his simulation up into pieces which could run in different processing centers. Each fragment buried itself deep in a local algorithm.
