A dictionary of Marshall McLuhan’s quotations

Knowledge removes all obstacles. Experience creates them. Perhaps we will find that in the pattern of the problems will be found the knowledge that is forever frustrated by hasty solutions. The fragmentariness of personal experience creates problems at an accelerating rate. Knowledge simply by-passes problems and allows them to wilt into insignificance. Points of view create confrontations and clashes, while knowledge generates love and charity that cover all faults and failings.
