“The men who are not interested in philosophy need it most urgently: they are most helplessly in its power. The men who are not interested in philosophy absorb its principles from the cultural atmosphere around them-from schools, colleges, books, magazines, newspapers, movies, television, etc. Who sets the tone of a culture? A small handful of men: the philosophers. Others follow their lead, either by conviction or by default.” MenNeedsBookPhilosophySchoolCulturePrinciplesTelevisionCollegeHe ManPhilosopherConvictionNewspapersMagazinesAtmosphereToneEtcNot InterestedHandfulDefault Book:The Ayn Rand Lexicon: Objectivism from A to Z Source: The Ayn Rand Lexicon: Objectivism from A to Z
“During the Second War, the U.S.O. sent special issues of the principal American magazines to the Armed Forces, with the ads omitted. The men insisted on having the ads back again. Naturally. The ads are by far the best part of any magazine or newspaper. More pains and thought, more wit and art go into the making of an ad than into any prose feature of press or magazine. Ads are news. What is wrong with them is that they are always good news.” MenArtWarPainForceIssuesSpecialHe ManNewsPressesWitNewspapersMagazinesFeaturesProseAdsPrincipalGood NewsBack AgainArmed Forces Author:Marshall McLuhan

“Musicians in my day had nicknames. My name was "Satchel Mouth," like a doctor's satchel. When I went to England this fellow was strictly English, and he was editor of the newspaper there. He shook my hand after I got off the train and said, "Hello, Satchmo." So right away my trombone player said, "Mmm, the man thinks you have mo' mouth than Satchel Mouth." So I was stuck with it, and it turned out all right.” ThinkingMenSaidHandsNamesPlayerHe ManMusicianMouthsDoctorsEnglandFellowsTrainStuckNewspapersEditorsHelloNicknamesTrombone Author:Louis Armstrong
