Marshall McLuhan
“The stars are so big,
The Earth is so small,
Stay as you are.”
Marshall McLuhan, The Medium Is the Massage: An Inventory of Effects

George Sand
“Criticism is far too clever; that is what will be the death of it. It never judges straightforwardly what has been done straightforwardly. It looks for midday at two in the afternoon, as the old saying goes, and it must have done a great deal of harm to those artists who pay too much attention to its opinions.”
George Sand, Indiana

Marshall McLuhan
“Humpty-Dumpty is the familiar example of the clown unsuccessfully imitating the acrobat. Just because all the King’s horses and all the King’s men couldn’t put Humpty-Dumpty together again, it doesn’t follow that electromagnetic automation couldn’t have put Humpty-Dumpty back together. The integral and unified egg had no business sitting on a wall anyway. Walls are made of uniformly fragmented bricks that arise with specialisms and bureaucracies. They are the deadly enemies of integral beings like eggs. Humpty-Dumpty met the challenge of the wall with a spectacular collapse.”
Marshall McLuhan, Understanding Media: The Extensions of Man

Terri Cole
“All you need to do right now is be open to the idea that your responses to current things in your life might be driven by, say, five-year-old you. Would you let a five-year-old make major decisions for your marriage or family? Would you let a five-year-old decide your career moves? I don’t think so.”
Terri Cole, Boundary Boss: The Essential Guide to Talk True, Be Seen, and (Finally) Live Free

Marshall McLuhan
“Satire,” said Swift, “is a glass in which we see every countenance but our own.”
Marshall McLuhan, Understanding Media: The Extensions of Man
