A dictionary of Marshall McLuhan’s quotations

All media of communications are clichés serving to enlarge man's scope of action, his patterns of associations and awareness. These media create environments that numb our powers of attention by sheer pervasiveness. The limits of our awareness of these forms does not limit their action upon our sensibilities.
