A dictionary of Marshall McLuhan’s quotations

I propose a means of bridging this gap between the world of the genius and the child. It is this: instead of broadcasting our learning, let us advertise our problems; instead of giving the answers, let us give the questions. Twentieth century man has been called one who runs down the street shouting: “I have the answers. What are the questions?”
