Marshall McLuhan
Any breakdown is a breakthrough.
Marshall McLuhan
The age of automation is going to be the age of do it yourself.
Marshall McLuhan

Marshall McLuhan
Anything that's popular is a rear-view image.
Marshall McLuhan
Innumerable confusions and a feeling of despair invariably emerge in periods of great technological and cultural transition.
Marshall McLuhan
The new media are not ways of relating to us the 'real' world they are the real world and they reshape what remains of the old world at will.
Marshall McLuhan
Relativity theory forced the abandonment, in principle, of absolute space and absolute time.
Marshall McLuhan
In Jesus Christ, there is no distance or separation between the medium and the message: it is the one case where we can say that the medium and the message are fully one and the same.
Marshall McLuhan
The news automatically becomes the real world for the TV user and is not a substitute for reality, but is itself an immediate reality.
Marshall McLuhan
Innovation for holders of conventional wisdom is not novelty but annihilation.
Marshall McLuhan
The content or time-clothing of any medium or culture is the preceding medium or culture.
Marshall McLuhan
The most human thing about us is our technology.
Marshall McLuhan
One main condition of aristocratic life was present in the South and not in the North--personal responsibility to other human beings for education and material welfare. (A Carnegie or a Ford, like a bureaucracy, molds the lives of millions without taking any responsibility.)
Marshall McLuhan
Great art speaks a language which every intelligent person can understand. The people who call themselves modernists today speak a different language.
Marshall McLuhan
Any loss of identity prompts people to seek reassurance and rediscovery of themselves by testing, and even by violence. Today, the electric revolution, the wired planet, and the information environment involve everybody in everybody to the point of individual extinction.
Marshall McLuhan
For those for whom the sex act has come to seem mechanical and merely the meeting and manipulation of body parts, there often remains a hunger which can be called metaphysical but which is not recognized as such, and which seeks satisfaction in physical danger, or sometimes in torture, suicide, or murder.
Marshall McLuhan
Language does for intelligence what the wheel does for the feet and the body. It enables them to move from thing to thing with greater ease and speed and ever less involvement.
Marshall McLuhan
