How to use malignant in a sentence?

1. Henry Wadsworth Longfellow:

   Doubtless criticism was originally benignant, pointing out the beauties of a work rather that its defects. The passions of men have made it malignant, as a bad heart of Procrustes turned the bed, the symbol of repose, into an instrument of torture.

2. Harold S. Kushner:
