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 16 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““. . . It is true that the trustee did have the power (subject to control of the Court) to adopt or reject the lease, but this power did not affect the continued existence of the lease during such period nor did it change the terms giving a right of entry where had existed in the lessor debtor .... The adoption (of the lease) has merely the effect of an assignment by force of law .... Under this lease, the lessor had no right to enter to abate a nuisance created by the lessee. The trustees succeeded to no greater right. They could adopt or reject the lease as a whole but could not alter its terms.””
