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 16 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The “cancellation” provisions of Section 329(b) are meaningless if Congress intended the obligations to be automatically discharged. Although it is well established that exceptions to discharge should be narrowly construed to preserve the debtor’s “fresh start,” ... it does not follow that the discharge provisions should be read to obliterate the purpose of a free-standing section in the same statutory scheme. As the Supreme Court has said, “statutory construction is a holistic endeavor.” ... The goal is to harmonize conflicting statutes, not to render one of them meaningless.”
