A dictionary of Marshall McLuhan’s quotations

Electronic man does not have any private identity and doesn’t want one. What would he do with it? He has no private ethic; in fact, he has no ethic. That’s where President Nixon got caught. He got caught in public with a private ethic. The young have no morals but they demand high morals of their public leaders. They have no identity and they demand a great big powerful image in their public issues.
