Being quoted

I just learned that one of the students quoted my MDiv dissertation in his dissertation. I find this simultaneously honoring, humbling, and horrifying! 
Another student told me that he had read my dissertation (for his field work report, I had told him that he writes the way he talks (which most of us do), and he came back after reading it and told me the same), but to be quoted is a bit extreme. I’m going to have to look at his to see what he took!
