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 45 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““ ‘It seems equally clear that the meaning of the words “to annoy or molest,” as employed in the code section, is sufficiently definite and certain to advise the public generally what acts and conduct are prohibited. Annoy means to disturb or irritate, especially by continued or repeated acts; [citations] “to weary or trouble; to irk; to offend; to disturb or irritate, esp. by continued or repeated acts; to vex; to molest . . . harm; injure” (Webster’s New Internat. Dict. 2d ed.). “ ‘The same dictionary defines “molest” as, “to interfere with or meddle with unwarrantably so as to injure or disturb. ’ ’ Molest is, in general, a synonym for annoy. The term “molestation” always conveys the idea of some injustice or injury. Molest is also defined as meaning to trouble, disturb, annoy or vex. [Citation] . . .”
