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.

“There is a time lapse, often of several years, between exposure to HIV and the onset of symptoms.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the concurrence“[I]t was clearly plausible that a leave of absence in 1981 would have provided Kim-bro with an opportunity to endure the 1981 acute episode and then return to work unimpaired for the foreseeable future. Moreover, at the time of his discharge, it was also plausible that a prolonged leave from work would have given Kimbro and his physicians an opportunity to design an effective treatment program. While it is altogether possible that Kimbro’s migraine episodes may have recurred upon his return to work following a leave of absence, such a possibility does not foreclose a finding of liability for failure to accommodate Kimbro’s migraines in 1981. As long as a reasonable accommodation available to the employer could have plausibly enabled a handicapped employee to adequately perform his job, an employer is liable for failing to attempt that accommodation.”

These and related prejudices substantially curtail the major life activities of AIDS victims. They are shunned socially and often excluded from public life.”
