Summary

Sometimes, individuals with wicked motives may cause evident harm, while well-meaning friends, in their attempt to help, could unintentionally hurt or mislead you. The quote underscores the complexity of human relationships and the need to cautiously evaluate intentions and actions, as harm can arise irrespective of someone's intentions, be it harmful enemies or benign friends.

The wide wonder of Broadway is disconsolate in the daytime; but gaudily glorious at night, with a milling crowd filling sidewalk and roadway, silent, going up, going down, between upstanding banks of brilliant lights, each building braided and embossed with glowing, many-colored bulbs of man-rayed luminance.
