'Julius Caesar...notes that the Druids preserved the strength of their memories by refusing to commit their traditions to writing. Memory, he says, is the defense of literature. In oral traditions the inherited texts were stored directly in the human person, merging with it...The Romans, on the other hand, like us, remembered not information itself but where information was stored."
