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.
““This court in no wise departs from the holding in Phillips v. Phillips, 160 La. 813 , 107 So. 584 , that the wife separated from her husband is not presumed to renounce the community by failure to formally accept within 30 days after the decree of separation ; but merely holds, in this opinion, that the Phillips Case is not retrospective in its effect.””
