from notes on "The Gutenberg Galaxy" by Marshall McLuhan

*Quoting Aquinas:
"The senses delight in things duly proportioned as in something akin to them, for, the sense, too, is a kind of reason as is every cognitive power." (107)

p. 109: Medievals associated the message with both the book and the word.

quotation from iris murdoch novel


"Of course this chattering diary is a facade, the literary equivalent of the everyday smiling face which hides the inward ravages of jealousy, remorse, fear and the consciousness of irretrievable moral failure. Yet such pretenses are not only consolations but may even be productive of a little ersatz courage." IRIS MURDOCH The Sea, the Sea

The professor seems sad, beaten by our wanton misuse of the <br /> element. I think it's to early in the term for him to be feeling this way.

Who are these men? Why are they doing this?
