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

3. “While we might give considerable weight to the opinion of a qualified expert concerning the expected duration of debt- or’s psychological disorders, debtor herself does not qualify as an expert in such matters.
