He had a surprise of his own to deal with: the unexpected similarity of the judge's story with Lucille Sloane's theorizing as to what Webster had whispered across the body in the moment of its discovery. The two statements were identical a coincidence that defied credulity. He caught himself doubting Lucille. Had she been theorizing, after all?
I was not even conscious of thinking of this at the time, though it may have lurked somewhere in the shadow of my scruples for her; but she dragged it out into the daylight and held me face to face with it. "'Remember, I'm not attempting to lay down any general rule, she insisted; 'I'm not theorizing about Man and Woman, I'm talking about you and me.
As we wended our weary way over the decks during the long lonely hours of the voyage, we fell to theorizing about those eyes and we concluded that they were Latin Latin chiefly engaged in the business of being female eyes. It was a new show to us.
But Schiller was the best judge of his own needs, and how he felt about the matter appears very clearly from a letter that he wrote to Koerner a few months later: I am full of eagerness for some poetic task and particularly my pen is itching to be at 'Wallenstein. Really it is only in art itself that I feel my strength. In theorizing I have to plague myself all the while about principles.
In the early days of English history, without theorizing much upon the subject, the Anglo-Saxons began to work out their political institutions along the line expressed in our Declaration of Independence, that the individual citizen has certain inalienable rights the right to life, to liberty, to the pursuit of happiness, and that government is not the source of these rights, but is the instrument for the preservation and promotion of them.
Such theorizing is, to my mind, on a par with the illogical search for the philosopher's stone and a perpetual motor." The old man's eyes sparkled as he turned full upon Ronald.

But only experience can show what will have this sedative effect, and it is easy to make mistakes. We feel dissatisfaction, and think that such and-such a thing would remove it; but in thinking this, we are theorizing, not observing a patent fact.
It differed from a philosophy or a belief, because it contained no abstract ideas; thinking or theorizing had no part in it; it was a sheer perception and recognition of the circumstances as they were. The people might dispute about details; but the general object to be striven for in life admitted of no disagreement. Without giving it a thought, they knew it.
The tendency at present, among critics of poetry, is to distrust formulas and to keep closely to ascertainable facts, and this tendency is surely more scientific than the most captivating theorizing.
"Thank God you're alive, and twice that the ship works!" he exclaimed. "You've been gone four hours, eleven minutes, and forty-one seconds, but never mind about abstract theorizing. Get back here, to Pittsburgh, as fast as you can drive. That Nevian vessel or another like her is mopping up the city, and has destroyed half the Fleet already!" "We'll be back there in nine minutes!"
