About this quote

Tyrion Lannister (Peter Dinklage) offers this philosophy to Jon Snow early in Season 1 of Game of Thrones, adapted from George R.R. Martin's novels. It is an extension of his counsel about wearing one's identity as armor — if you acknowledge your weaknesses openly, others lose the power to shame you with them. The idea reflects Tyrion's survival strategy in a world that has always underestimated and mocked him.
