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 185 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Similarly, statutes and case law prescribe a number of rules postponing the accrual of a cause of action until a specified event occurs.... Some judicial opinions loosely describe such rules as 'tolling the statute of limitations,' but again Witkin puts it more accurately: 'The foregoing rules of delayed accrual are to be distinguished from rules that, despite accrual of the cause of action, toll or suspend the running of the statute.' (3 Witkin, Cal. Procedure, supra , Actions, § 462, pp. 582-583, italics in original.)”
