- In the bathtub of history the truth is harder to hold than the soap, and much more difficult to find...

Filled with wonderful bon mots, double entendres, not to mention breathtaking insights, The Wit and Wisdom of Discworld is a compendium of the wittiest, pithiest, and wisest quotations from Terry Pratchett's madcap universe--a place that looks, sounds, and smells suspiciously like our own.
