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

7 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“[a]n intentional breach of contract is excepted from discharge under § 523(a)(6) only when it is accompanied by malicious and willful tortious conduct. In re Moultrie, 51 B.R. 368, 373 (Bankr.W.D.Wash.1985); In re Haynes, 19 B.R. 849, 851 (Bankr.E.D.Mich.1982). Nothing in the record indicates that the Risos’ intentional breach of the right of first refusal was tortious in the context of this case.”
4 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“One of the fundamental policies of the Bankruptcy Code is the fresh start afforded debtors through the discharge of their debts. In re Devers, 759 F.2d 751, 754-55 (9th Cir.1985). In order to effectuate the fresh start policy, exceptions to discharge should be strictly construed against an objecting creditor and in favor of the debtor. In re Klapp, 706 F.2d 998, 999 (9th Cir.1983).”
