As information becomes our environment, it becomes mandatory to program the environment itself as a work of art.

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

If we understand the revolutionary transformations caused by new media, we can anticipate and control them; but if we continue in our self-induced subliminal trance, we will be their slaves.

Don't ask whether it is right ...

Don't ask whether it is right or wrong. Instead try to find out what is going on.

Marshall McLuhan 454 quotes

For those for whom the sex act...

For those for whom the sex act has come to seem mechanical and merely the meeting and manipulation of body parts, there often remains a hunger which can be called metaphysical but which is not recognized as such, and which seeks satisfaction in physical danger, or sometimes in torture, suicide, or murder.

All media work us over completely.

The copy of an ad is merely a ...

The copy of an ad is merely a punning gag to distract the critical faculties while the image of the product goes to work on the hypnotized viewer. Those who have spent their lives protesting about 'false and misleading ad copy' are godsends to advertisers, as teetotalers are to brewers, and moral censors are to books and films. The protesters are the best acclaimers and accelerators. Since the advent of pictures, the job of the ad copy is as incidental and latent as the 'meaning' of a poem is to a poem, or the words of

An expensive ad represents the toil, attention, testing, wit, art, and skill of many people. Far more thought and care go into the composition of any prominent ad in a newspaper or magazine than go into the writing of their features and editorials. Any expensive ad is as carefully built on the tested foundations of public stereotypes or 'sets' of established attitudes, as any skyscraper is built on bedrock.

The electric age ... established a global network that has much the character of our central nervous system.

'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.

Moral indignation is a technique used to endow the idiot with dignity.

The only way to recover the old world is to induce the media into vomiting it back up.

Food for the mind is like food for the body: the inputs are never the same as the outputs.

The age of automation is going to be the age of 'do it yourself'.

Explore the situation. Statements are expendable. Don't keep on looking in the rearview mirror and defending the status quo which is outmoded the moment it happened.

People don't actually read newspapers - they get into them every morning like a hot bath.

A moral point of view too often serves as a substitute for understanding in technological matters.
