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.

“* * * * * * Where, however, the defendant has engaged in a continuous policy of discrimination, acts in furtherance of that policy are not viewed in isolation. In such circumstances if the charge has been filed no later than 300 days after the last act by the defendant pursuant to its policy, the plaintiff may recover for earlier acts of discrimination as well.... “To succeed at trial, the [plaintiffs] must be. able to demonstrate a Title VII violation oc curring after the effective date of the act and within the period of the statute of limitation, or 300 day charge-filing period. But such a violation is not limited to hiring violations per se. A continuously maintained illegal employment policy may be the subject of a valid complaint until a specified number of days after the last occurrence of an instance of that policy.... Furthermore, where an illegal policy is so maintained, relief for injury sustained even before the beginning of the limitations is appropriate.” [However, back pay liability shall not accrue from a date more than two years prior to the filing of a charge with the Commission. 42 U.S.C. § 2000e-5(g).]”
