The [thing] which you have invented is an aid not to memory, but to reminiscence, and you give your students 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 wise and will generally know nothing; they will be tiresome company, having the show of wisdom without the reality.
