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.

1. “"* * * Inasmuch as the collision occurred in the plaintiff's lane of travel, we hold that the matter of negligence was a jury question." Raz v. Mills, 231 Or. at 226 , 372 P.2d at 958 . "A defendant relying upon an emergency to explain his conduct must show that he was faced with a sudden danger, in light of which his conduct measures up to the standard required of a reasonable man faced with a similar emergency. See Restatement, 2 Torts 796 § 296 (1934). However, * * * a person whose own negligence contributes to the emergency cannot take refuge in the emergency to escape liability for his own fault * * *." Raz v. Mills, 231 Or. at 228 , 372 P.2d at 959 . "* * * Negligence in failing to remain on the right side of the road was properly presented to the jury upon instructions concerning the effect of any emergency * * *." Raz v.
