[PW] Hip Hop Quotation

[Edward Franchuk]

Our young patron would like to know if this quotation appeared any earlier or is a paraphrase of someone else's quotation. I have checked my quotation books here and the online sources at IPL and haven't found any evidence of a prior variation.  ~~~~~~~~
It strikes me as a rather fulsome elaboration of "The pen is mightier than the sword."
