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.

““[A] bankruptcy case does not become a Chapter 13 case merely by calling it a Chapter 13 case. If its real motive and purpose is to obtain a discharge of the debts without a reasonable and substantial payment to the creditors, ... the court should recognize the case for what is is, an illusion. . . . [T]he illusory Chapter 13 plan is not in good faith.” In re Bloom, et al., 3 B.R. 467, 472 , 6 B.C.D. 141, 144 (C.D.Cal.1980). Accord, In re Beaver, supra, In re Campbell, supra, In re Howard, supra.”
