More quotes by Marshall McLuhan
Good taste is the first refuge of the non creative. It is the last ditch stand of the artist.
Marshall McLuhan
In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is a hallucinating idiot...for he sees what no one else does: things that, to everyone else, are not there.
Marshall McLuhan
Typography is not only a technology but is in itself a natural resource or staple, like cotton or timber or radio and, like any staple, it shapes not only private sense ratios but also patterns of communal interdependence.
Marshall McLuhan

Marshall McLuhan
We are all robots when uncritically involved with our technologies.
Marshall McLuhan
Today, the mass audience (the successor to the public) can be used as a creative, participating force. It is, instead, merely given packages of passive entertainment. Politics offers yesterday's answers to today's questions.
Marshall McLuhan
Most people are alive in an earlier time, but you must be alive in our own time.
Marshall McLuhan
A commercial society whose members are essentially ascetic and indifferent in social ritual has to be provided with blueprints and specifications for evoking the right tone for every occasion.
Marshall McLuhan
Affluence creates poverty.
Marshall McLuhan
Life. Consider the alternative.
Marshall McLuhan
The ignorance of how to use knowledge stockpiles exponentially.
Marshall McLuhan
Don't ask whether it is right or wrong. Instead try to find out what is going on.
Marshall McLuhan
