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 54 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“No restriction imposed before January 1,.. . [1962] shall be enforceable after the expiration of fifty years from its imposition unless a notice of restriction is recorded before the expiration of such fifty years or before January 1, . . . [1964], whichever is later, and in case of such recording, twenty years have not expired after the recording of any notice of restriction without the recording of a further notice of restriction.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“A restriction on the use of land is a right to compel the person entitled to possession of the land not to use it in specified ways.... But the holder of such a restrictive right has no right to use the land on which he holds the restriction as he would if he held an affirmative easement”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“A person examining [the relevant] plan could reasonably discern that [an access] easement [to the water] had been reserved[,] ... [b]ut there is nothing on the plan to show that the beach area [on either side] of the strip was similarly reserved”
