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.

“If [Ladson] went to the station because [he] had been the subject of the functional equivalent of an arrest — which was admittedly unjustified — the confes sion must be suppressed.... On the other hand, if [he] went there on [his] own accord and without coercion, there was no illegality which would preclude the validity of the confession.”
1 later decision quote this exact passagee.g. Ladson v. State““Of foremost importance is the simple fact that B.S. was a seventeen-year-old juvenile. Youth has often been held almost necessarily to involve a vulnerability to the wishes of the adult authority figures like policemen, which is the antithesis of an exercise of the child’s free will.””
