Most-quoted passages
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 24 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“‘a willful disregard of what [he knew] to be his duty, an act which [was] against good morals and wrongful in and of itself, and which necessarily cause[d] inju ry and [was] done intentionally.’ Tinker v. Colwell, 193 U.S. 473, 487 , 24 S.Ct. 505, 509 , 48 L.Ed. 754 (1904). There need be no showing of “special malice” toward the injured party, only that the act “is done deliberately and intentionally in knowing disregard of the rights of another.””
2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“[A] willful and malicious injury does not follow as of course from every act of conversion, without reference to the circumstances ... There may be an honest, but mistaken belief, engendered in the course of dealing, that powers have been enlarged or incapacities removed.”
