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 9 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[I]t seems unreasonable to this Court that in 1978, Congress decided to prohibit involuntary liquidation of farmers in bankruptcy except if the farmer files a chapter 11 petition and does not file a plan within the first 4 months.... To hold that the farmer can be involuntarily liquidated against his will in chapter 11 would ... [be] failing to construe the Code in the favor of the farm debtor, and it would permit a creditor to do indirectly that which Congress prohibited them from doing directly.”
