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 2 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"Willfulness" means the wrongful doing of an act without justification or excuse. State v. Arnold , 264 N.C. 348 , 141 S.E.2d 473 (1965) ; State v. Williams , 284 N.C. 67 , 199 S.E.2d 409 (1973). "Wantonness" means the doing of an act in conscious and intentional disregard of and indifference to the rights and safety of others. Hinson v. Dawson , 244 N.C. 23 , 92 S.E.2d 393 (1956). "The attempt to draw a sharp line between a 'willful' act and a 'wanton' act ... would be futile. The elements of each are substantially the same." State v. Williams , supra , 284 N.C. at 73 , 199 S.E.2d at 412 .”
