“Roman Catholicism is a broken and utterly desperate thing, capable only of malignant mischief in our awakening world.”
H.G. Wells“However imperfect our conception of virtue, still let us cling to it; for a moment’s forgetfulness exposes us to all the malignant forces from without. The simplest lie to myself, buried though it may be in the silence of my soul, may yet be as dangerous to my inner liberty as an act of treachery on the marketplace. Widfom and Destiny”
Maurice Maeterlinck“Christians must show that misery fits the good for heaven, while happiness prepares the bad for hell; that the wicked get all their good things in this life, and the good all their evil; that in this world God punishes the people he loves, and in the next, the ones he hates; that happiness makes us bad here, but not in heaven; that pain makes us good here, but not in hell. No matter how absurd these things may appear to the carnal mind, they must be preached and they must be believed. If they were reasonable, there would be no virtue in believing. Even the publicans and sinners believe reasonable things. To believe without evidence, or in spite of it, is accounted as righteousness to the sincere and humble christian.In short, Christians are expected to denounce all pleasant paths and rustling trees, to curse the grass and flowers, and glorify the dust and weeds. They are expected to malign the wicked people in the green and happy fields, who sit and laugh beside the gurgling springs or climb the hills and wander as they will. They are expected to point out the dangers of freedom, the safety of implicit obedience, and to show the wickedness of philosophy, the goodness of faith, the immorality of science and the purity of ignorance.”
Robert G. Ingersoll, Some Mistakes of Moses“Malignant phenomena do not come out of a golden age.”
Barbara W. Tuchman, The Proud Tower: A Portrait of the World Before the War, 1890-1914“There are realistic limitations, but it's the unrealistic ones that are malignant to our potential.”
Andi Jones, Living Without Limits: A Memoir by Andi Jones“The receding perspective of my past smothers my present. Remembering is the malignancy that feasts on my now.”
Rabih Alameddine, An Unnecessary Woman“What a blight that woman is. Do you happen to know why? I lean toward a malignant fairy at her christening.”
Mary Ann Shaffer, The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society“I am terrified by this dark thingThat sleeps in me;All day I feel its soft, feathery turnings, its malignity.”
Sylvia Plath, Ariel“The embrace of a new technology by ordinary people leads inevitably to its embrace by people of malign intent.”
Charles C. Mann“What destroys us most effectively is not a malign fate but our own capacity for self-deception and for degrading our own best self.”
George Eliot, Adam Bede
