Pharaoh Thamus to the god Thoth, having received the invention of hieroglyphs (Plato): "This invention will produce forgetfulness in the souls of those who learn it, because they will not practice their memory. They will trust to the external written characters and not remember of themselves. The specific you have discovered is an aid not to memory, but to reminiscence, and you give your disciples not truth, but only the semblance of truth; they will be hearers of many things and will have learned nothing; they will appear to be omniscient and will generally know nothing.”
"Si vogliamo che tutto remanga com'è, bisogna che tutto cambi.".
