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.
“[A] battery [is] "an intentional, unconsented and harmful or offensive touching of the person of another, or of something closely connected with the person." It does not matter whether the touching caused an injury. Further, ... an assault [is] "an attempt to commit a battery or an unlawful act that places another in reasonable apprehension of receiving an immediate battery."”
