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

Marshall McLuhan 454 quotes

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

First we build the tools, then they build us.

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.

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

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

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.

Language is a form of organized stutter.

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

The story begins only when the book closes.

The percept takes priority of the concept.

It has always been the artist who realizes that the future is the present and uses his work to prepare the grounds for it

Marshall McLuhan 454 quotes

We look at the present through a rear view mirror. We march backwards into the future.

Marshall McLuhan 454 quotes

The alphabet and print technology fostered and encouraged a fragmenting process, a process of specialism and detachment. Electric technology fosters and encourages unification and involvement.

Marshall McLuhan 454 quotes

If men were able to be convinced that art is a precise advance knowledge of how to cope with the psychic and social consequences of the next technology, would they all become artist? Or would they begin a careful translation of new art forms into social navigation charts? I am curious to know what would happem if art were suddenly seen for what it is, namely, exact information of how to rearrange one's psyche in order to anticipate the next blow from our own extended faculties.

To say that "the camera cannot lie" is merely to underline the multiple deceits that are now practised in its name.

Attention spans get very weak at the speed of light, and that goes along with a very weak identity.

First we shape our tools, thereafter they shape us

Poetry and the arts can’t exist in America. Mere exposure to the arts does nothing for a mentality which is incorrigibly dialectical. The vital tensions and nutritive action of ideogram remain inaccessible to this state of mind.

The price of eternal vigilance is indifference.
