[Thomas Hobbes] walked much and contemplated, and he had in the head of his Staff a pen and inkhorn, carried always a Notebook in his pocket, and as soon as a notion darted, he presently entered it into his Book, or else he should perhaps have lost it.
JOHN AUBREY (1626 - 1697), "Thomas Hobbes", Brief Lives, ed, Oliver Lawson Dick, 1950.
