Does the political quote take a side?
It's presented as one side's accusation — that a "phony 'war on women' narrative" was used to distract from a poor record on the economy and jobs — included here to show how mask gets used rhetorically in political debate, not as an endorsed claim.
Are there beauty-routine quotes in this collection?
Yes — two describe literal face and hair masks, including a hydrogen mask "supposed to soothe and relax your skin" and a homemade egg-white, olive-oil hair mask for shine and conditioning.
Is there a quote about hiding behind a mask personally?
One reflects on not feeling very different with "the mask on or not," while also admitting a dislike of interviews and public appearances — suggesting the mask matters less than the discomfort of being seen at all.
