"Ha ha! Why, Herr Settembrini, I find you are a mocker! "
"A mocker? You mean I am malicious? Well, yes, perhaps I am, a little," said Settembrini. "My great complaint is that it is my fate to spend my malice upon such insignificant objects. I hope, Engineer, you have nothing against malice? In my eyes, it is reason's keenest dart against the powers of darkness and ugliness. Malice, my dear sir, is the animating spirit of criticism; and criticism is the beginning of progress and enlightenment. "
* Thomas Mann, The Magic Mountain
