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.
“[Wjhatever was the unsoundness of the one had to be the unsoundness of the other.... If [the will] died, then its Siamese twin, as represented by these deeds of simultaneity, likewise had to die from the same ailment .... ... [T]he previous inquiry as to the will covered every possibility of inquiry as to the deeds.... While [the] will and deeds, all simultaneous, were not one single document, yet each one was the alter ego of the other.”
