It is a capital mistake to theorize before one has data. Insensibly one begins to twist facts to suit theories, instead of theories to suit facts.

One of the greatest quotes, from a great author.
Work with what you know, not with what you think you know. because, you'll eventually realize that you're wrong... and everything that you believe is wrong... and that the entire time, you've been trying to fit puzzle pieces in the wrong place, the wrong way...
When i first heard the quote, i guess i didn't understand... i didn't understand how it would become one of my favorite quotes.
But i guess, there are two reasons why i love it:
firstly, it's quoted from one of my most loved characters.
secondly, the amazing person who first told it to me. i'm slowly getting there. and you mean lots to me, more than i previously thought. so much more. and i'm sure this is one of the many good things i'll remember you by.

two shout outs:
- thanks, it really helped.
- i'm sorry. and im kicking myself for how i've acted towards you.
- and i'm sorry i've been such a crap selfish friend. i really miss how much we used to talk, and how close we were. regardless, you'll always be one of my closest confidants, and i hope it'll become this way again and always.
