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 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

(People v. Taylor (1965), 33 Ill. 2d 417 , 211 N.E.2d 673 ; People v. Cross (3d Dist. 1975), 27 Ill. App. 3d 785 , 327 N.E.2d 81 .)””
