Is the PEN Really Mightier than the SWORD?

Pretty cool drawing today, it took me about 5 hours! Used a Namiki fountain pen and Platinum Carbon Black ink, and Paris Paper for Pens. I tried to look that up, what that means, "Paris Paper" but it seems kind of vague, maybe just a type of paper made in Paris at some point.
These are the two books I mentioned in this video:
"Gandhi & Churchill" by Arthur Herman
"King Leopold's Ghost" by Adam Hochschild

    Hullo Peter, I find your drawings completely amazing! I so enjoy your commentary on the diversity of subjects too! I have also been intrigued with how many famous quotes are miss-quotes! I have spent my share of time looking things up, believe me that is easier today than it was when I was in school. Digging around the library for famous quotes and miss-quotes takes hours and hours longer than typing a quote into a search engine on your home computer! I have found more than a few discrepancies online and contradictory information even in Wikipedia! Thanks for the drawing video I do enjoy seeing you ply your art. Be safe take care and keep drawing drawing drawing!

    "Be the change" is a misquote that has been mis attributed. Gandhi used different words than those, and at the time was referencing the idea of someone else. I find common misconceptions like these fascinating! I tried to leave a comment here with a link to the quote investigator website, but apparent links in comments make the comment die? I dunno. But I encourage you to look up the quote on your own, because it's history is great. I love your work! Thank you always for sharing.

    I think what Gandhi said was a bit wordier... (Hopefully this one is right) "We but mirror the world. All the tendencies present in the outer world are to be found in the world of our body. If we could change ourselves, the tendencies in the world would also change. As a man changes his own nature, so does the attitude of the world change towards him. This is the divine mystery supreme. A wonderful thing it is and the source of our happiness. We need not wait to see what others do.” Nice sword, nice drawing, satisfying to watch, but I was also tense listening to you talk about Leopold knowing the horror of that whole situation, even though you quite considerately avoided talking about that side of it.
