The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 8 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The term ‘malicious’ as used in the Bankruptcy Act provision that liability for willful and malicious injuries to person or property of another are not dis-chargeable has the same meaning as that ascribed in Oregon to the term ‘malice’ for which punitive damages may be awarded, which term comprehends a tort committed with a bad motive, or so recklessly as to imply a disregard of social obligations or an act wantonly, maliciously or wickedly done.””
