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.

It is unquestioned that in today’s world even archeologists must obtain permission from owners of property and the government of the country involved before they can conduct their explorations____ On a more familiar level, backpackers and hikers must often obtain permits before being allowed access to certain of our national parks and forests, even though that land is public and not private.”
