“We need many more intrepid women who set out to expand both their and our concepts of the world. We need them in writing just as we need them in politics. We need that sense of adventure, of reaching wider, delving deeper, pushing further afield, whether that field be geographical, intellectual, political, personal, or all of these and more. Enough with decorousness. Let us risk preconceptions and treasured philosophies, bodies and souls. Let us be big and bawdy and full of courage. Let's go.” WorldNeedsWritingSoulEnoughPhilosophyBodyBigsPoliticalRiskFieldsAdventureIntellectualConceptsDeeperReachingPushingPreconceptionsTreasuredDelving Author:Lesley Hazleton

“I think at a certain point we a little bit forgot that it was a pot show. I think I said something to Harry [Elfont], around Episode 7 [of mary and Jane], I was like, "We have a pot show. Nobody is smoking any weed." There is literally a shot in the season finale where everybody lights up at the same time. I was like, "I feel like we are not honoring our concept." It just became a show. It became a show about these two girls doing this crazy thing and getting into all these adventures and it was really not about the weed.” ThinkingFeelsLittlesSaidTwoShowsLightCertainGirlBitsCrazyAdventureLittle BitShotsConceptsSeasonsSmokingPotWeedMaryEpisodesJaneLight UpCrazy ThingsFinale Author:Deborah Kaplan

“My life is not possible to tell. I change every day, change my patterns, my concepts, my interpretations. I am a series of moods and sensations. I play a thousand roles.

“Life is very much about rule breaking, about confrontation. Otherwise history would just stand still. Someone has to come along and break the rules and try for whatever reason to go about things a different way. Even if it is a simple sense of adventure, a sense of exploration. You explore concepts and things that interest you, but you are also exploring inside of yourself.” IfsWayTryingStillsDifferentReasonLife IsInterestSimpleBreakAdventureConceptsDifferent WaysExplorationExploringConfrontation Author:Ed Paschke
“If our previous analyses are correct, they all point to the same conclusion, that metaphysical adventures are doomed to fail when their authors substitute the fundamental concepts of any particular science for those of metaphysics.” IfsFailingParticularAdventureConceptsFundamentalsConclusionAnalysisSubstitutesDoomedMetaphysicsMetaphysical Author:Etienne Gilson
