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 17 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“We have been mindful of the danger that an inability to perform a specific job always can be recast as an inability to perform a class of tasks associated with that specific job. Our court thus has emphasized that a person's inability to perform one particular job is not a substantial limitation on the major life activity of working, and that working does not mean working at a particular job of the person's choice.”
