Marshall McLuhan
The laws of the media, in tetrad form, bring logos and formal cause up to date to reveal analytically the structure of all human artefacts.
Marshall McLuhan

Marshall McLuhan
I don't necessarily agree with everything I say.
Marshall McLuhan
Youth instinctively understand the present environment - the electric drama. It lives mythically and in depth.
