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 28 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

[Cit.]' City of Atlanta v. Southern R. Co., 213 Ga. 736, 738 ( 101 SE2d 707 ) (1958).”
