"The car has become the carapace, the protective and aggressive shell, of urban and suburban man." ― Marshall McLuhan Topic(s): Sympathy More From Marshall McLuhan "If the nineteenth century was the age of the editorial chair, ours is the century of the psychiatrist’s couch." "Money is a poor man’s credit card." "Mass transportation is doomed to failure in North America because a person’s car is the only place where he can be alone and think." More In Sympathy "Since this war began our sympathy has gone out to all the suffering people who have been dragged into it. Further hundreds of millions have become involved since I spoke at Limerick fortnight ago."― Eamon de Valera "Badges mean nothing in themselves, but they mark a certain achievement and they are a link between the rich and the poor. For when one girl sees a badge on a sister Scout’s arm, if that girl has won the same badge, it at once awakens an interest and sympathy between them."― Juliette Gordon Low "Actors who are lovers in real life are often incapable if playing the part of lovers to an audience. It is equally true that sympathy between actors who are not lovers may create a temporary emotion that is perfectly sincere."― Ivor Novello
