"Mr. Locke accounts for the association of ideas, which is the cause of antipathies and many errors, with, other strange phænomena, by memory; supposing such traces are worn on the brain as unite ideas, so that when the mind turns to one it should almost necessarily fall on the other too."

Metaphor in Context
When a train of ideas is very familiar to the mind, they often follow one another in the memory without any laborious recollection, and so as to arise almost instantaneously and mechanically; as in writing, singing, &c. the traces between them being worn like beaten roads.
Mr. Locke accounts for the association of ideas, which is the cause of antipathies and many errors, with, other strange phænomena, by memory; supposing such traces are worn on the brain as unite ideas, so that when the mind turns to one it should almost necessarily fall on the other too.
(Part I, Proposition VIII, Scholium 4, p. 27)
