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 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““No person transported by the owner or operator of any motor vehicle as a guest without payment for such transportation, and no personal representative of any such guest so transported, shall be entitled to recover damages against such owner or operator for death or injuries to the person, or property of such guest, resulting from the operation of such motor vehicle unless such death or injury was caused or resulted from the gross negligence or wilful and wanton disregard of the safety of the person, or property of the person, being so transported on the part of such owner or operator.””
