"An indispensable tome of wisdom and laughs.

From author Liam James Leaven and artist Katrina Kinder comes this collection of masterfully illustrated mash-up quotes that will leave you, in every sense, ""better than before.""

Delving deeper into the pearls of wisdom and inspiration spoken by others, Leaven works to unearth greater truths to present the world in a unique, entertaining, and always hilariously offbeat manner.

Huge Words by Huge People is a top-shelf laughter elixir, imparting such wisdom as:

""Speak softly and carry a big stick . . .

This way, for them to hear you, they will need to come close. That's when you hit them with the stick.""

LJL and Teddy Roosevelt

and

""If we fall, we don't need self-recrimination or blame. We need a reawakening of our intention, to be whole-hearted once again . . .

Sometimes, if we happen to fall in the right place, a good personal injury lawyer will also come in handy. I've been scoping out Grandma's Country Diner over on South Walnut Street-they always seem to be mopping around 3 o'clock. Now, where did I leave my flip-flops?""

LJL and Sharon Salzberg

With words of wisdom that are sure to leave you in stitches, Huge Words by Huge People is a perfect funny gift for fans of Saturday Night Live's Deep Thoughts by Jack Handey, comedians Steven Wright, Tim Heidecker, Mitch Hedberg, Rita Rudner, or Demetri Martin, actor Nick Offerman, or anyone who appreciates a good dad joke."
