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 5 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[Lazar] never had a solo show during his lifetime, nor did he or his family ever sell or part with any of his works, according to his son and daughter-in-law, Mark and Regina Khidekel. On this point, they were adamant. ... But when they finally saw the works, which belong to Paris collectors Claude and René Boulé, they were even more puzzled. "I don’t know whether they're fakes or works of somebody else,” says Regina. "I only know, and we are absolutely sure, that they have nothing to do with Khidekel.” They also wondered where so large a collection — about 200 works, primarily watercolors — that were unknown to them could have come from. The Boulés refused to tell them. Mark and Regina say that they told the Boulés the works were not Khidekels.... What makes Mark and Regina most indignant is that the catalogue [for the Joliette Museum exhibition] gives the impression that they endorse the Boulé collection, which they most emphatically do not.”
