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 5 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The mere fact that an accident happened is not evidence of failure to keep a proper lookout; but here, there was more than the mere happening. It was a bright, clear day. Appellant intended to turn to the west; appellee’s car was approaching from that direction; it was a moving object; appellant failed to see it; her attention should have been directed in that direction — the direction which she intended to turn— and was, in fact, in the process of doing so when the collision occurred.””
