Are you tired of reading the same old, fusty quotations dug up from the archives?
Are you weary from the expired and ready for something inspired?
If you yearn for something new, then this is the book for you.
Here, for the first time, is a collection of original wit and wisdom by Brian Jones, a new voice with something new to say. A breath of fresh air, reinvigorating the world of quotations.
Introduced with a typically British self-depreciating sense of humour, Wicked Wit & Wily Wisdom is very much alive and kicking, taking you on a roller-coaster journey through the shallows of the introductory sections, and then quickly onwards, to immerse you into a deep treasure trove of wit and wisdom. Hold on tight, and enjoy the ride.
Memorable, remarkable and quotable, there’s something for everyone. A bright spark of wit to brighten your day and a wealth of unconventional wisdom to enlighten your way. Some are comic and will make you laugh out loud. Some are profound and will stop you in your tracks. Others will derail your current thinking, inspiring a new take.
Wicked Wit & Wily Wisdom is packed with 2,400 original, witty and wise one-line quips, retorts, put-downs, puns, epigrams, maxims, intimations, provocations, ruminations, opening lines and last words. These span 96 subjects including:
