Quote: Dorothy L. Sayers in "The Lost Tools of Learning"

“Has it ever struck you as odd, or unfortunate, that today, when the proportion of literacy is higher than it has ever been, people should have become susceptible to the influence of advertisement and mass propaganda to an extent hitherto unheard of and unimagined?”

—Dorothy L. Sayers (1893–1957), English poet, playwright, essayist, and Christian humanist.

Dorothy Sayers passed in 1957. 

Dorothy Sayers would be spectacularly disappointed. Not much has changed.
