Marshall McLuhan
To say that the camera cannot lie is merely to underline the multiple deceits that are now practised in its name.
Marshall McLuhan
The greatest propaganda in the world is our mother tongue, that is what we learn as children, and which we learn unconsciously. That shapes our perceptions for life. That is propaganda at its most extreme form.
Marshall McLuhan
In television, images are projected at you. You are the screen. The images wrap around you. You are the vanishing point.
Marshall McLuhan
North Americans have a peculiar bias. They go outside to be alone and they go home to be social.
Marshall McLuhan
Obsolescence is the moment of superabundance.
Marshall McLuhan
The movie, by sheer speeding up of the mechanical, carried us from the world of sequence and connections into the world of creative configurations and structure.
Marshall McLuhan
