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.

“The Court of Appeals has long and consistently held that a wife living separate and apart from her husband is a privileged suitor when she seeks alimony, that as such she is entitled to counsel fees and costs for the prosecution of the trial, and that the husband should be required to pay counsel fees for services rendered his wife and her costs on an appeal concerning the matter of alimony when it appears that her income is insufficient to care for her needs and when her appeal was taken in good faith.[ 3 ]”
1 later decision quote this exact passage · from the majority“"We shall remand this case in order to permit the trial court to make a proper allowance for counsel fees for prosecuting this appeal. In order to arrive at an appropriate determination, the trial court shall take further testimony in regard to the financial status of the parties, their respective needs, the amount of legal services rendered, and the reasonable value of such services.””
1 later decision quote this exact passage · from the majority““see no reason why the child’s rights to inherit from M should in any respect depend on whether M’s paternity was established in a paternity proceeding pursuant to [the paternity statute] or in an equity proceeding like the case at bar. And if that be so then the rules of evidence controlling the proof of paternity ought to be the same in either case.” (Emphasis added).”
