“We all wear disguises,” Max Liebermann said to Oskar Reinhardt.  The detective gave him a strange look, and Max continued, “Not in the way you’re thinking about, wearing workman’s clothes so you won’t be noticed.  But we keep hidden from each other what our true personalities are.  We want others to think that we are, for example, sophisticated, and so we disguise ourselves with an air of sophistication, and are seen at all the best places, but catch us at home and you would find us happily eating peasant food.  It’s still a disguise and often a very effective one.”
