Marshall McLuhan

"Advertising is the greatest art form of the 20th century."

"Great art speaks a language which every intelligent person can understand. The people who call themselves modernists today speak a different language."

"Ads are the cave art of the twentieth century."

"Our Age of Anxiety is, in great part, the result of trying to do today’s jobs with yesterday’s tools!"

"I think of art, at its most significant, as a DEW line, a Distant Early Warning system that can always be relied on to tell the old culture what is beginning to happen to it."
