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.

“'passed pursuant to a constitutional provision granting Congress the power to abrogate?'”
14 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“assertions in a state-instituted federal action, including those made with regard to a . . . proof of claim, amount to a compulsory counterclaim”
11 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the dissent“In [§ 106], Congress unequivocally purports to say when states have no immunity from private suits in federal court. While 11 U.S.C. § 106 (b) may correctly describe those actions that, as a matter of constitutional law, constitute a state’s waiver of the Eleventh Amendment, it is nevertheless not within Congress’ power to abrogate such immunity by "deeming” a waiver. Rather, in the absence of a constitutional authorization, it lies solely within a state's sovereign power to waive its immuni1y voluntarily and to consent to federal jurisdiction. Only if it waives such immunity may a private citizen sue the state in federal court.”
