Quote by Richelle E. Goodrich

Little girls grow up thinking that knights in shining armor actually exist. ? But they don't. ? And if those valiant heroes ever did bless this world with their chivalrous deeds, I imagine, just? like Christ's apostles, they were destroyed by envy on the battlefront.

Little girls grow up thinking that knights in shining armor

Summary

This quote suggests that young girls are often influenced by romanticized ideals of knights in shining armor who will come to their rescue. However, the quote argues that these ideals are unrealistic and that such heroes never truly exist. Moreover, it implies that if there were any individuals embodying chivalrous acts akin to Christ's apostles, they would have faced destruction due to envy or rivalry in the battleground. In essence, the quote discourages clinging to impractical expectations and suggests that genuine acts of bravery may be overshadowed or undermined by human flaws and competition.
