Famous quotes containing the words future and/or work:

    The circuited city of the future will not be the huge hunk of concentrated real estate created by the railway. It will take on a totally new meaning under conditions of very rapid movement. It will be an information megalopolis.
    Marshall McLuhan (1911–1980)

    Where the whole man is involved there is no work. Work begins with the division of labor.
    Marshall McLuhan (1911–1980)
