Although the medium is the message, the controls go beyond programming. The restraints are always directed to the “content,” which is always another medium. The content of the press is literary statement, as the content of the book is speech, and the content of the movie is the novel. So the effects of radio are quite independent of its programming.

 
Marshall McLuhan
 

What is the now? Not the content that fills this moment with sense perceptions, with experiences, with thoughts and emotions. Not the content that fills this moment. That's not the now. That's what happens in the now, the content. The now is deeper, the now is who you are as the space of conscious presence that makes it all possible, that makes the whole world possible.

Eckhart Tolle

Susan Sontag
 

True realism, materialist realism lies in the search for the expression of forms faithful to their content. But there is no content detached from human interest.

 
Asger Jorn
