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.

““Bankrupt’s whole estate has been taken and is being administered in bankruptcy. If the rent for the premises for the time after the petition was filed is not to be paid therefrom, we must find that a court has the power to take and use property of a third party without obligation to pay therefor .... The simple fact is that, under the authority and direction of the court, the premises were used, and justice and fair dealing require that the owner shall receive what the use was reasonably worth . . . .”13 F.2d 116, 117.”
