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.

““* * * § 1983 is a vehicle for prisoners to raise assertions of deprivations of constitutional rights in this Court during their imprisonment. This Court is open and accessible to prisoners, and therefore, imprisonment for purposes of a § 1983 action, is not a disability. * * * A tolling rule based solely on incarceration * * * is inconsistent with federal policy and should not be applied.” Perotti, supra, at 40 .”
