More quotes by 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
Anyone who tries to make a distinction between education and entertainment doesn't know the first thing about either.

The family circle has widened. The worldpool of information fathered by the electric media--movies, Telstar, flight--far surpassesany possible influence mom and dad can now bring to bear. Character no longer is shaped by only two earnest, fumbling experts. Now all the world's a sage.
Marshall McLuhan

Marshall McLuhan
Today the tyrant rules not by club or fist, but disguised as a market researcher, he shepherds his flocks in the ways of utility and comfort.
Marshall McLuhan
There is a real, living unity in our time, as in any other, but it lies submerged under a superficial hubbub of sensation.
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
Only the vanquished remember history.
Marshall McLuhan
The village had institutionalized all human functions in forms of low intensity.... Participation was high and organization was low. This is the formula for stability.
Marshall McLuhan
Advertising is an environmental striptease for a world of abundance.
Marshall McLuhan
