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 13 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““In the instant case, the original divorce decree found that appellant was indebted to appellee for $1300 for money loaned by appellee to appellant and ordered appellant to pay that sum to appel-lee and created a lien upon any real estate owned by appellant within this State and directed a money judgment to be entered for that amount. The payment so directed was for money loaned and did not arise as a result of the marital relation of the parties. The obligation was a civil debt and not alimony and was dis-chargeable in bankruptcy.’’ (Emphasis ours)”
