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 16 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Although the result appears to be harsh to the [claimant], it must be borne in mind that in any bankruptcy, all creditors of the debtor suffer in that they receive less than what is properly owed them. One of the functions of bankruptcy is simply to ensure equal distribution among all creditors of the available assets of the debtor in accordance with the hierarchy laid down by Congress. To recognize [this claim] in full would mean that some other general creditor would necessarily receive less.”
