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.
““The driver of a car approaching an intersection is obliged to observe what is approaching on the street he intersects, and even if we concede that the chauffeur arrived at the intersection at the same time as the defendant (the evidence indicating that he arrived at the point after the defendant) the situation would be that while he observed the street car obstructed his view, he proceeded to cross the street without further observation, with the resulting collision.””
