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.

““Assignment of Error 4 attacks that portion of the decree granting to appellee the use and occupation of the residence of the parties. It is contended to be erroneous for two reasons. First, that the propriety of such action is dependent upon a valid right to separate maintenance. Second, that the effect of granting such right is a division of property and such is not- authorized in a separate maintenance proceeding. We disagree with both contentions.””
