A dictionary of Marshall McLuhan’s quotations

Imagination is that ratio among the perceptions and faculties which exists when they are not embedded or outered in material technologies. When so outered, each sense and faculty becomes a closed system. Prior to outering there is entire interplay among experiences. This interplay or synaesthesia is a kind of tactility such as Blake sought in the bounding line of sculptural form and in engraving.
