The Pen. . . gives. . . permanence to the evanescent thought of a moment.
- Horace Smith, Tin Trumpet
Ever wondered why the pen is mightier than the sword? This maybe is one of the endless list of answers. The pen is mighty because it gives permanence to man's most powerful abilities - his ability to think (which is to say his thoughts).
Evanescent means "tending to vanish like vapor." (From wikipedia.org)
