Marshall McLuhan Quote: “Today’s child is growing up absurd, because he lives in two worlds, and neither of them inclines him to grow up. Growing up – thatis our new work, and it is total. Mere instruction will not suffice.”

Marshall McLuhan Quote: “Sentimentality, like pornography, is fragmented emotion; a natural consequence of a high visual gradient in any culture.”

Marshall McLuhan Quote: “The movie stars and matinee idols are put into the public domain by photography. They become dreams that money can buy. They can be bought and thumbed more easily than public prostitutes.”
Marshall McLuhan Quote: “What we call art would seem to be specialist artifacts for enhancing human perception.”
Marshall McLuhan Quote: “We have be-come irrevocably involved with, and responsible for, each other.”
Marshall McLuhan Quote: “Throughout Finnegans Wake Joyce specifies the Tower of Babel as the tower of Sleep, that is, the tower of the witless assumption, or what Bacon calls the reign of the Idols.”

Marshall McLuhan Quote: “The artist is the person who invents the means to bridge between biological inheritance and the environments created by technological innovation.”

Marshall McLuhan Quote: “The percept takes priority of the concept.”
Marshall McLuhan Quote: “What is very little understood about the electronic age is that it angelizes man, disembodies him. Turns him into software.”

Marshall McLuhan Quote: “Ideally, advertising aims at the goal of a programmed harmony among all human impulses and aspirations and endeavors. Using handicraft methods, it stretches out toward the ultimate electronic goal of a collective consciousness.”
Marshall McLuhan Quote: “North Americans have a peculiar bias. They go outside to be alone and they go home to be social.”
Marshall McLuhan Quote: “There is an enormous redundancy in every well-written book. With a well-written book I only read the right-hand page and allow my mind to work on the left-hand page. With a poorly written book I read every word.”

Marshall McLuhan Quote: “A nomadic society cannot experience enclosed space.”
