"During those confusing times, as the events of the 1960s and my maelstrom of swirling emotions pulled me toward the abyss of permanent animus, any number of my professors pulled me back or at least kept me from going over the brink. They refused to accommodate my feelings; they demanded that I think rather than feel."

 

Justice Clarence Thomas in IMPRIMIS, Hillsdale College, Volume 3, Number 26
