===Quotations=== Bulwer-Lytton's most famous quotation is "[[The pen is mightier than the sword]]" from his play ''Richelieu'': <blockquote>beneath the rule of men entirely great, the pen is mightier than the sword</blockquote> He popularized the phrase "pursuit of the [[almighty dollar]]" from his novel ''[[The Coming Race]]'',<ref> Edward Bulwer Lytton Baron Lytton, ''The Coming Race'' (London, England: William Blackwood and Sons, 1871), [https://archive.org/details/bub_gb_LO8BAAAAQAAJ/page/n9 page 2] {{Webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130527081751/http://books.google.com/books?id=LO8BAAAAQAAJ&pg=PA2 |date=27 May 2013}} </ref> and he is credited with "[[the great unwashed]]", using this disparaging term in his 1830 novel ''Paul Clifford'': <blockquote>He is certainly a man who bathes and "lives cleanly", (two especial charges preferred against him by Messrs. the Great Unwashed).<ref>{{Cite book |author=Edward Bulwer Lytton Baron Lytton |author2=Eric Robinson |title=Paul Clifford |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=jZtCAQAAIAAJ&pg=RA1-PR5 |year=1838 |publisher=Baudry's European Library |page=x, footnote |access-date=7 June 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170508213524/https://books.google.com/books?id=jZtCAQAAIAAJ&pg=RA1-PR5|archive-date=8 May 2017 |url-status=live |df=dmy-all}}</ref> </blockquote>
