Man works when he is partially involved. When he is totally involved he is at play or leisure.

The story begins only when the book closes.

The artist is the person who invents the means to bridge between biological inheritance and the environments created by technological innovation.

Language is a form of organized stutter.

Marshall McLuhan 454 quotes

I am resolutely opposed to al...

I am resolutely opposed to all innovation, all change, but I am determined to understand what’s happening. Because I don’t choose just to sit and let the juggernaut roll over me. Many people seem to think that if you talk about something recent, you’re in favor of it. The exact opposite is true in my case. Anything I talk about is almost certainly something I’m resolutely against. And it seems to me the best way to oppose it is to understand it. And then you know where to turn off the buttons.

Marshall McLuhan 454 quotes

The young today cannot follow...

The young today cannot follow narrative but they are alert to drama. They cannot bear description but they love landscape and action.

Marshall McLuhan 454 quotes

There is absolutely no inevitability, so long as there is a willingness to contemplate what is happening.

Marshall McLuhan 454 quotes

All media work us over comple...

All media work us over completely. They are so pervasive in their personal, political, economic, aesthetic, psychological, moral, ethical, and social consequences that they leave no part of us untouched, unaffected, unaltered. The medium is the message. Any understanding of social and cultural change is impossible without a knowledge of the way media work as environments. All media are extensions of some human faculty - psychic or physical.

First we build the tools, then they build us.

Marshall McLuhan 454 quotes

Violence is the quest for identity. When identity disappears with technological innovation, violence is the natural recourse.

Time’ has ceased, 'space' has vanished. We now live in a global village... a simultaneous happening

Those conspiracies that are too incredible to be believed, are by the same right, those which most often succeed.

Marshall McLuhan 454 quotes

The business of art is no longer the communication of thoughts or feelings which are to be conceptually ordered, but a direct participation in an experience. The whole tendency of modern communication...is towards participation in a process, rather than apprehension of concepts.

Most people are alive in an earlier time, but you must be alive in our own time.

Marshall McLuhan 454 quotes

All discoveries in art and science result from an accumulation of errors.

"Work" does not exist in a nonliterate world. The primitive hunter or fisherman did no work, any more than does the poet, painter, or thinker of today. Where the whole man is involved there is no work.

The literate man is a sucker for propaganda...You cannot propagandize a native. You can sell him rum and trinkets, but you cannot sell him ideas.

Marshall McLuhan 454 quotes

The news automatically becomes the real world for the TV user and is not a substitute for reality, but is itself an immediate reality.

Gutenberg made everybody a reader. Xerox makes everybody a publisher.

Once you see the boundaries of your environment, they are no longer the boundaries of your environment.
