There I lay, wearing dead people as armor against death.

About This Quote

This is a very powerful line. If you are not the type of person to wear dead people as armor, then it may not mean much to you. However, if you are, this line will hit home. The truth is that we all need armor against death.

We need it to protect us from the reality of our mortality. We need it to teach us humility and to make us realize that we are not invincible. We need it to make us understand that we are fragile and fragile things break easily.

But, like the Dead who wore these Dead as armor, we can't always find the right thing to do or say at the right time in order for us to become strong enough to survive without being broken by death.
