The future masters of technol...

The future masters of technology will have to be light-hearted and intelligent. The machine easily masters the grim and the dumb.

Marshall McLuhan 454 quotes

All forms of violence are que...

All forms of violence are quests for identity. When you live on the frontier, you have no identity. You're a nobody.

Marshall McLuhan 454 quotes

When people become too intens...

When people become too intense, too serious, they will have trouble in relating to any sort of social game or norm. Perhaps this is why jokes are so important. On one hand they tell us about where the problems and grievances are, and, at the same time, they provide the means of enduring these grievances by laughing at the problems.

Marshall McLuhan 454 quotes

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 throug...

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 convin...

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 canno...

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

Marshall McLuhan 454 quotes

Attention spans get very weak...

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

The percept takes priority of the concept.

Marshall McLuhan 454 quotes

Except for light, all other m...

Except for light, all other media come in pairs, with one acting as the "content" of the other, obscuring the operation of both.

Marshall McLuhan 454 quotes

The bible belt is oral territory and therefore despised by the literati.

Marshall McLuhan 454 quotes

Education, which should be helping youth to understand and adapt to their revolutionary new environments, is instead being used merely as an instrument of cultural aggression.

Marshall McLuhan 454 quotes

The price of eternal vigilance is indifference.

Marshall McLuhan 454 quotes

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.

Marshall McLuhan 454 quotes

The greatest propaganda in th...

The greatest propaganda in the world is our mother tongue, that is what we learn as children, and which we learn unconsciously. That shapes our perceptions for life. That is propaganda at its most extreme form.

Marshall McLuhan 454 quotes

A new medium is never an addi...

A new medium is never an addition to an old one, nor does it leave the old one in peace. It never ceases to oppress the older media until it finds new shapes and positions for them.

Marshall McLuhan 454 quotes

Interface, of the resonant interval as 'where the action is', whether chemical, psychic or social, involves touch.

Marshall McLuhan 454 quotes

The genteel is a mighty cataf...

The genteel is a mighty catafalque of service-with-a-smile and flattering solicitude smothering every spontaneous movement of thought or feeling.
