the pen is mightier than the sword

A phrase that literally means you could cut someone in half with a pen.

Meh.

I slayed the dragon with my pen that was mightier than the sword.

The pen is mightier than the sword

Another way of saying that theres a lot of bullshit in history books to support the agendas of a group in power to make that group look more like a clear victor without any negative qualities, and make another group look like they met their downfall. In reality, questioning what the pen writes is enough to make you wonder if there are any winners at all with something like a war.

The pen is mightier than the sword is what the same people you need swords for in the first place tell you.
