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.

“put federal judges in the business of creating new crimes; federal criminal law would be the nation's moral vanguard.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“Suppose you blow up a plane carrying X and Y in order to kill X. If both die in the explosion, you are just as much Y's murderer as X’s, not because of the fiction of transferred intent but because you knew that Y (or any other person who might be a passenger on the plane) would die if your plot against X succeeded. It is not a transferred-intent case because nothing went wrong with your plan; it is a case of extreme recklessness, equated to deliberateness.... You killed Y for an ulterior motive, it is true, but most murders have ulterior motives.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage · from the majority“general rule in fraud cases ... is that you are liable only to an intended victim.”
