The book that started it all

Silent but Wise: The Subtle Art of Fart-Based Wisdom is a straight-faced collection of 100 deeply ridiculous quotes, inspired by history’s great thinkers (and stinkers).

Printed in elegant black and white, it’s designed to look serious enough to pass as actual philosophy — until you start reading.

What even is Fart Philosophy?

At its core, Fart Philosophy asks a single, humble question:

“What if wisdom came from the least likely place?”

Inspired by the tone of Stoicism and the format of coffee-table quote books, Fart Philosophy treats the absurd with sacred seriousness. It began as a book. Then came the merch. And now? It’s a movement.

Because who says you can’t think deeply in the bathroom?

"Don’t judge a book by its cover – Witty, clever, profound and funny, really enjoyed this read, would make an excellent gift!!”
