"Memory . . . is in a manner the twin sister of written speech and is completely similar to it, though in a dissimilar medium. For just as script consists of marks indicating letters and of the material on which those marks are imprinted, so the structure of memory, like a wax tablet, employs places and in those places gathers together images like letters."

Cicero (as quoted by Carruthers [*])

"The human mind does not work that way. It operates by association. With one item in its grasp, it snaps instantly to the next that is suggested by the association of thoughts, in accordance with some intricate web of trails carried by the cells of the brain."

(Bush [*])
