About This Quote
Armour belonging to someone else either chops off you or weighs you down or is too tight. Armour is something that protects the body. Armour belonging to someone else can prevent you from growing and can restrain you. This armour may sound like it is protecting the person wearing it, but in fact, it is restricting the wearer's growth.
