More quotes by Marshall McLuhan

Marshall McLuhan
Our Age of Anxiety is, in great part, the result of trying to do today's job with yesterday's tools and yesterday's concepts.
Marshall McLuhan
The printing press was at first mistaken for an engine of immortality by everybody except Shakespeare.
Marshall McLuhan
