Quote by Leonard Louis Levinson

He is a fine friend. He stabs you in the front.

He is a fine friend. He stabs you in the front.

Summary

This quote implies that the person being referred to as a "fine friend" is brutally honest and upfront about their true feelings or intentions. Unlike a typical backstabber who pretends to be supportive but secretly undermines others, this person openly confronts and criticizes their friends instead of concealing their true colors. The quote suggests that despite any potential hurt caused by their bluntness, their honesty is appreciated because it is a refreshing break from dishonesty and betrayal.
