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 15 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““ * * * Unless the discussion can be brought to the point whereby the interest of the proposed buyer can be aroused or the terms of the sale discussed, it cannot be classed as a negotiation. Negotiation presupposes a mutual interest in the subject matter and merely directing one’s attention without further enlisting interest or discussion falls far short of negotiations. The mere offer or solicitation which meets with prompt refusal or rejection having no effect whatever on the subsequent purchase of the route, cannot be regarded as negotiations within the meaning of the contract.””
