Marshall McLuhan

• “In television, images are projected at you. You are the screen. The images wrap around you. You are the vanishing point.”

• “Language is a form of organized stutter.”

• “New media are new archetypes, at first disguised as degradations of older media.”

• “Literacy, in translating man out of the closed world of tribal depth and resonance, gave man an eye for an ear and ushered him into a visual open world of specialized and divided consciousness.”
