Summary

This quote suggests that having a strong memory can hinder one's ability to think creatively and independently. A person with a highly developed memory might rely on recalling pre-existing ideas and information instead of generating new and innovative thoughts. They may be bound by traditional or commonly accepted ideas, preventing them from breaking free and developing their own unique perspectives. Therefore, being overly reliant on one's memory can impede one's potential to become an original thinker.
