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 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““A trustee in bankruptcy, at his option, may assume or reject the lease of the bankrupt * * *. If he elects to take the leasehold, he takes it * * * subject to the burdens resting upon the debtor * * * In this event the bankrupt is relieved from liability for any future rent. The trustee takes no title to the lease unless he elects to accept it. The property which passes, therefore, immediately to the trustee, is not the lease itself, but the option of accepting it. If the trustee renounces the lease, the relation of landlord and tenant still subsists as before the bankruptcy, and the bankrupt’s dis charge does not release him from his obligation to pay the rent. * * * ””
