“If you look for an identity you find inequality. If you look for similarities you separate one truth from another.”
— Giannina Braschi, in "United States of Banana", 2011
“Pornography and violence are by-products of societies in which private identity has been … destroyed by sudden environmental change.”
— Marshall McLuhan, in a letter to Clare Westcott (26 November 1975), published in Letters of Marshall McLuhan (1987), p. 514.
“Attention spans get very weak at the speed of light, and that goes along with a very week identity.”
— Marshall McLuhan, The Education of Mike McManus, TVOntario (28 December 1977).
“The TV generation is postliterate and retribalized. It seeks by violence to scrub the old private image and to merge in a new tribal identity, like any corporate executive.”
— Marshall McLuhan, as quoted in The Book of Probes : Marshall McLuhan (2011), p. 201.
“It is funny about money. And it is funny about identity. You are you because your little dog knows you, but when your public knows you and does not want to pay for you and when your public knows you and does want to pay for you, you are not the same you.”
— Gertrude Stein, Everybody’s Autobiography (1937), Ch. 2.
“Absolute identity with one's cause is the first and great condition of successful leadership.”
— Woodrow Wilson , in Woodrow Wilson and the Roots of Modern Liberalism, p. 214.
