“.. there is in our minds a block of wax . . . a gift of Mnemosyne (Memory), the mother of the Muses, and whenever we wish to remember anything we see or hear or think of in our own minds, we hold this wax under the perceptions and thoughts and imprint them upon it, just as we make impressions from seal rings.”
~Plato, Theaetetus 191c (trans. Fowler)
