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.

“conduct that is grossly offensive, under contemporary community standards, to a person who actually overhears it or sees it.”
19 later decisions quote this exact passage“"The doctrine requires statutes to provide fair notice of the conduct to which they pertain and to establish minimum guidelines to govern law enforcement . The United States Supreme Court has set forth standards for evaluating vagueness. "First, because we assume that man is free to steer between lawful and unlawful conduct, we insist that laws give the person of ordinary intelligence a reasonable opportunity to know what is prohibited, so that he may act accordingly. Vague laws may trap the innocent by not providing fair warning." Grayned v. Rockford, 408 U.S. 104 , 108 , 92 S.Ct. 2294 , 33 L.Ed.2d 222 (1972). "[A] law forbidding or requiring conduct in terms so vague that men of common intelligence must necessarily guess at its meaning and differ as to its application violates due process of law." Baggett v. Bullitt, 377 U.S. 360 , 367 , 84 S.Ct. 1316 , 12 L.Ed.2d 377 (1964); see also State v. Schriver, 207 Conn. 456 , 459 , 542 A.2d 686 (1988); State v. Cavallo , 200 Conn. 664 , 670 , 513 A.2d 646 (1986). State v. Indrisano, 228 Conn. 795 , 802 . 640 A.2d 986 (1994). (emphasis added).”
