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 8 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“It is fundamental that a discharge in bankruptcy is personal in. nature and releases only the bankrupt’s personal liability. This discharge affects the underlying debts of secured and unsecured creditors alike but does not dispose of a valid lien not avoided by the bankruptcy act. for this reason, we conclude that a lien creditor may pursue the attached collateral in a state court subsequent to the debtor’s discharge in bankruptcy.”
