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.
“Our recent statement ... should not be read out of context as suggesting that the capacity to react to produce another compound is not, ipso facto, a property.

[Emphasis added.]”
