More quotes by Marshall McLuhan
Language always preserves a play or figure/ground relation between experience, and perception and its replay in expression.
Marshall McLuhan
It's misleading to suppose there's any basic difference between education & entertainment. This distinction merely relieves people of the responsibility of looking into the matter.
Marshall McLuhan
I don't necessarily agree with everything I say.
Marshall McLuhan
Most of our assumptions have outlived their uselessness.
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
Anyone who tries to make a distinction between education and entertainment doesn't know the first thing about either.
Marshall McLuhan
The past went that-a-way. When faced with a totally new situation, we tend always to attach ourselves to the objects, to the flavor of the most recent past. We look at the present through a rear view mirror. We march backwards into the future.
Marshall McLuhan
The artist is the person who invents the means to bridge between biological inheritance and the environments created by technological innovation.
Marshall McLuhan
Madison Avenue is a very powerful aggression against private consciousness. A demand that you yield your private consciousness to public manipulation.
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
We become what we behold. We shape our tools and then our tools shape us.
Marshall McLuhan
Innumerable confusions and a feeling of despair invariably emerge in periods of great technological and cultural transition.
Marshall McLuhan
The task confronting contemporary man is to live with the hidden ground of his activities as familiarly as our literate predecessors lived with the figure minus ground.
Marshall McLuhan
Violence is the quest for identity. When identity disappears with technological innovation, violence is the natural recourse.
Marshall McLuhan
The media have substituted themselves for the older world.
Marshall McLuhan
Diaper backward spells repaid. Think about it.
Marshall McLuhan
As information becomes our environment, it becomes mandatory to program the environment itself as a work of art.
Marshall McLuhan
Good taste is the first refuge of the non creative. It is the last ditch stand of the artist.
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
If people were able to be convinced that art is precise advance knowledge of how to cope with the psychic and social consequences of the next technology, would they all become artists?
Marshall McLuhan
