This riddle is probably really easy, but I came up with a good rhyme, so I wanted to post it.
Pen is mightier than Sword;
Sword knows this is true;
However, what Pen brings to fight,
Sword possesses, too!
What is pen's weapon of choice?

This reminds me of the hint in this riddle of mine, but the first line of your riddle is quite a notable quote :P – Mr Pie Sep 02 '18 at 01:24

Total coincidence. I was quoting whoever originally said that. It's a common phrase. – ThePuzzlingPlatypus Sep 02 '18 at 02:12

Yeah, I know, that's what I'm saying... who actually said that, though? Do you know? :D Edit: Nevermind. It was an English author by the name of Edward Bulwer-Lytton. As a matter of fact, the actual meaning of the phrase gives a clue to solving the puzzle! – Mr Pie Sep 02 '18 at 02:16

This Wikipedia page says that it was Edward Bulwer-Lytton. He later apparently became a terrible writer; he also invented "it was a dark and stormy night" – ThePuzzlingPlatypus Sep 02 '18 at 02:17

How did he become a terrible writer and yet we use his quotes? Hahah... people :P – Mr Pie Sep 02 '18 at 02:18

Pen brings
"Word" to the fight, as pens can write. And "sword" has "word" in the name.

1Close enough. I meant "words," plural, but I can't nitpick – ThePuzzlingPlatypus Sep 02 '18 at 00:56

Also hi; I was actually just about to post a riddle inspired by yours, but I have to wait 40 minutes for some reason. – ThePuzzlingPlatypus Sep 02 '18 at 00:57
