Marshall McLuhan
The mother tongue is propaganda.
Marshall McLuhan
... Their power to see environments as they really are.
Marshall McLuhan
I am curious to know what would happen 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.
Marshall McLuhan
