More quotes by Marshall McLuhan
The age of automation is going to be the age of do it yourself.
Marshall McLuhan
The successor to politics will be propaganda. Propaganda, not in the sense of a message or ideology, but as the impact of the whole technology of the times.
Marshall McLuhan
It is perhaps typical of very creative minds that they hit very large nails not quite on the head.
Marshall McLuhan
Our electrically-configured world has forced us to move from the habit of data classification to the mode of pattern recognition. We can no longer build serially, block-by-block, step-by-step, because instant communication insures that all factors of the environment and of experience co-exist in a state of active interplay.
Marshall McLuhan
Positively, the effect of speeding up temporal sequence is to abolish time, much as the telegraph and cable abolished space. Of course, the photograph does both.
Marshall McLuhan
If it works, it's obsolete.
Marshall McLuhan
I do not say whether it is a good or bad thing. To do so would be meaningless and arrogant.
Marshall McLuhan

Marshall McLuhan
Logos is the formal cause of the kosmos and all things, responsible for their nature and configuration.
Marshall McLuhan

Marshall McLuhan
Only the small secrets need to be protected. The large ones are kept secret by public incredulity.
Marshall McLuhan
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
One thing about which fish know exactly nothing is water, since they have no anti-environment which would enable them to perceive the element they live in.
Marshall McLuhan
The modern Little Red Riding Hood, reared on singing commercials, has no objection to being eaten by the wolf.
Marshall McLuhan
We have to find the environments in which it will be possible to live with our new inventions.
Marshall McLuhan
Every innovation scraps its immediate predecessor and retrieves still older figures – it causes floods of antiques or nostalgic art forms and stimulates the search for museum pieces.
Marshall McLuhan
Like primitive, we now live in a global village of our own making, a simultaneous happening. It doesn't necessarily mean harmony and peace and quiet but it does mean huge involvement in everybody else's affairs.
Marshall McLuhan
