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.

“[t]his brief dialogue falls short of satisfying the requirement of an `appropriate interrogation ... regarding the defendant's past and present mental state... .”
2 later decisions quote this exact passagee.g. Wester v. State · Burch v. State“(a) In accepting a plea of guilty or nolo contendere, the court should make such inquiry as may be necessary to satisfy itself that there is a factual basis for the plea. (b) Generally, in determining the accuracy of a plea of guilty, the court may require the defendant to make a detailed statement in the defendant’s own words concerning the commission of the offense to which the defendant is pleading. (c) Whenever a defendant pleads nolo contendere or pleads guilty and simultaneously denies culpability, the court must take special care to make certain that there is a factual basis for the plea. The offer of a defendant to plead guilty should not be refused solely because the defendant refuses to admit culpability. Such a plea may be refused where the court has specific reasons for doing so which are made a matter of record.”
