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 47 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

If he failed to cooperate with counsel by informing him of their existence, then he cannot now complain that counsel did not know of them. [ People v. Elder, 73 Ill. App. 3d 192 , 29 Ill.Dec. 140 , 148, 391 N.E. 2d 403, 411 (App.Ct. 1979)]”
