Summary

This quote suggests that theories serve as a framework through which we interpret our experiences. When we adopt a particular theory or belief, it shapes our perceptions and organizes our understanding of the world around us. This means that our theories can influence how we perceive and interpret events, often confirming and reinforcing the beliefs we already hold. In this sense, theories can be seen as self-fulfilling prophecies, guiding our experiences and shaping our reality based on the framework they provide.

There is only beauty -- and it has only one perfect expression -- poetry. All the rest is a lie --except for those who live by the body, love, and, that love of the mind, friendship.
