"If I'm able to connect with students, that connection comes about because I don't try to be some big-shot professor lecturing down to them. Instead, I keep in mind what the theologian Martin Buber said: 'I am no philosopher, prophet or theologian, but a man who has seen something and who goes to a window and points to what he has seen.' Exactly. The simple fact is that my students and I are all fellow travelers on the journey of life; I merely pass along what I have learned while we read our literature that serves as a springboard to understanding this mystery that we call life." Dr. H. Dean Thompson, Jr.
