A slight touch of friendly malice and
amusement towards those we love keeps our
affections for them from turning flat.
?Logan Pearsall Smith
It is remarkable by how much a pinch
of malice enhances the penetrating power
of an idea or an opinion. Our ears, it
seems, are wonderfully attuned to sneers
and evil reports about our fellow men.
?Eric Hoffer
Comedy deflates the sense precisely so
that the underlying lubricity and
malice may bubble to the surface.
?Paul Goodman
Malice drinks one half of its own poison.
?Lucius Annaeus Seneca
