A dictionary of Marshall McLuhan’s quotations

It’s a nuisance having my books criticized. It’s like being caught with your fly open. It confuses my students. But I don’t think I’ve had more than half-a-dozen students who’ve read anything I’ve written. They’re not interested in my stuff and know very well that if they use it anywhere in their essays it’s going to be held against them. I warn them never to quote me.
