Armor Battle Clothing Suit Ultimately Which World

The last thing I’d ever subscribe to are fashion rules. However, I do think that you should put effort into what you wear. Clothing is ultimately the suit of armor in which we battle the world. When you choose your clothing right, it feels good. And there’s nothing shallow about feeling good. Owning your style, however, is much more about your attitude than it is about what’s on your back. But don’t underestimate the transformational possibilities that getting dressed can afford you.

My role in all of this is very simple. I make clothing like armor. My clothing protects you from unwelcome eyes.

Yohji Yamamoto

Clothing started as an armor for me. It was one of the ways that I protected myself from the world. It evolved into a form of creative expression.

Tracee Ellis Ross

Clothing shouldn't be a societal shackle. It should be art and truth and a way for us to show the world what we want out of it. It's environmental armor.

Rain Dove

'Armor On' explains why I needed armor in the first place. Sonically, you'll hear this battle of, 'I love you, no I don't. I love you, I hate you.' That's what you'll feel. You see the story kind of fight against itself.

Dawn Richard

One of my great memories of John is from when we were having some argument. I was disagreeing and we were calling each other names. We let it settle for a second and then he lowered his glasses and he said: "It's only me." And then he put his glasses back on again. To me, that was John. Those were the moments when I actually saw him without the facade, the armor, which I loved as well, like anyone else. It was a beautiful suit of armor. But it was wonderful when he let the visor down and you'd just see the John Lennon that he was frightened to reveal to the world.

Paul McCartney

Misanthropy is a suit of armor lined with thorns.

Marie von Ebner-Eschenbach

Once, as an experiment, I travelled around the world with a single suit. Before I left, I went to a tailor in Savile Row and asked him to make me a suit that I could wear in any climate and which I could use as a tuxedo, a dinner jacket, a lounge suit and a blazer.

George Hamilton

ARMOR, n. The kind of clothing worn by a man whose tailor is a blacksmith.

Ambrose Bierce

Airplanes have dulled and desensitized us; we are encumbered, like lovers in a suit of armor.

Paul Theroux

In sketch comedy, wear your character like a hat, not a suit of armor.

Andy Daly

The expression "following suit" is a curious one, because it has nothing to do with walking behind a matching set of clothing. If you follow suit, it means you do the same thing somebody else has just done. If all of your friends decided to jump off a bridge into the icy waters of an ocean or river, for instance, and you jumped in right after them, you would be following suit. You can see why following suit can be a dangerous thing to do, because you could end up drowning simply because somebody else thought of it first.

Daniel Handler

I believe in the battle-whether it's the battle of a campaign or the battle of this office, which is a continuing battle.

Richard M. Nixon

When men set out to kill and bully, they dress up. Suit of armor. Combat boots. Uniform.

Timothy Leary

If honor be your clothing, the suit will last a lifetime; but if clothing be your honor, it will soon be worn threadbare.

William Arnot

If we can remain present and deal with the moment in front of us, no matter what our battle, then if we lose, we'll know that ultimately we weren't supposed to win that battle in the first place.
