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

If this court were writing this decision on a clean slate, it would adhere to the position that 11 U.S.C. § 506 (a) means what it says, and that a secured claim arises from a hen upon property upon which the estate has an interest.”
