In big industry new ideas are invited to rear their heads so they can be clobbered at once. The idea department of a big firm is a sort of lab for isolating dangerous viruses.

Technology is that which separates us from our environment.

It is the weak and confused who worship the pseudosimplicities of brutal directness.

A new medium is never an addition to an old one, nor does it leave the old one in peace. It never ceases to oppress the older media until it finds new shapes and positions for them.

Television is teaching all the time. Does more educating than the schools and all the institutions of higher learning.

The future masters of technology will have to be light-hearted and intelligent. The machine easily masters the grim and the dumb.

In Jesus Christ, there is no distance or separation between the medium and the message: it is the one case where we can say that the medium and the message are fully one and the same.
