A dictionary of Marshall McLuhan’s quotations

Oh yes! We’re moving inward in depth, and all these outer commitments to large buildings and large marketing efforts and large material enterprises – I don’t think the Beat generation is inclined to give very much attention to these things.! I think you can take the Beats as a pretty good indication of the withdrawing of energy from the visible, material scene. They don’t give a damn about appearances any more.
