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 7 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““[Sjupport alimony is not alimony in lieu of a division. Support alimony is exactly what its name implies, alimony for support and maintenance. Alimony in lieu, of a division is given for satisfaction of a property division obligation. These are distinct obligations and the acceptance of one does not by implication waive the right of the other.” Greer v. Greer, 807 P.2d 791, 794 (Okla.1991) (Emphasis in original).”
