Famous quotes containing the words malcolm and/or penny:
“Every journalist who is not too stupid or too full of himself to notice what is going on knows that what he does is morally indefensible. He is a kind of confidence man, preying on people’s vanity, ignorance, or loneliness, gaining their trust and betraying them without remorse.”

“Listen world,
if you’d just take the time to pick
the white fingers, the penny heart,
all would be well.
