“The pen is mightier than the sword.” Coined by Edward Bulwer-Lytton. His name is associated with the contest to write the worst possible opening line for a story. He was however, so good a writer that he was offer a position in the nobility TWICE (including becoming the King of Greece!) He turned them down because they would have cut into his earnings from writing. Against his express wishes, he was buried in Westminster Abbey, where English kings and queens are buried. He was really a fascinating guy, with some warts. Check him out in Wikipedia.
