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.

“No civil action may be commenced in any court against a local entity or any of its employees for any injury unless it is commenced within one year from the date that the injury was received or the cause of action accrued.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“"[we] must decide which of the two limitations periods applies to this medical malpractice claim. Section 8-101 of the Tort Immunity Act applies to any local entity, while section 13-212 of the Code of Civil Procedure applies specifically to physicians, dentists, registered nurses, or hospitals. Further, section 8-101 applies to all civil actions, while section 13-212 only applies to actions arising out of patient care. We further note that section 13-212 of the Code was enacted subsequent to section 8-101 of the Tort Immunity Act. This fact is important in that the rule that a specific statutory provision prevails over a general provision is especially applicable where the specific provision was enacted more recently.
