A dictionary of Marshall McLuhan’s quotations

I have acquired that approach through Joyce and Eliot and the Symbolists, and used it in The Mechanical Bride. Nobody except myself in the media field has ventured to use the structuralist or "existential" approach. It is a highbrow approach, and the schools of communication are uniformly hardware and flatfoot in their training and activities.”
