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 11 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“We believe that a debtor cannot enjoy the benefits of the bankruptcy process while avoiding its burdens. Any other approach would produce an unlevel playing field tilted in the debtor’s favor. “The adversary proceedings brought under § 523 and § 727 of the Bankruptcy Code seek to deny the debtor discharge or except debts from discharge. The debtor cannot use the bankruptcy court to broaden the benefits afforded to an accused by the Fifth Amendment. To do so would allow the debtor to use the Fifth Amendment as a shield, while impermissibly using the Bankruptcy Code as a sword with which to take an unfair advantage of creditors.””
