"In the Rhetorica it's called by the same name, the memory palace," il Machia answered. "You build a building in your head, you learn your way around it, and then you start attaching memories to its various features, its furniture, its decorations, whatever you choose. If you attach a memory to a particular location you can remember an enormous amount by walking around the place in your head."
- The Enchantress of Florence, Salman Rushdie
