Comedy Quote by Abigail Tarttelin
““It is obvious, by the sounds of the dizzy, hysterical laughter that you start to exhale when you’re an adult and you have very few friends and only rarely have fun, that they are caught in a bubble of their own awesomeness and won’t be leaving the living room any time soon.””

![“In the end, how [is] anyone any different from a 'normal' person? If you love someone, you love them. It doesn't matter where they came from or if they're a boy or a girl, or if you fight, or if they're weird, or if they find it difficult to communicate with you; you just fucking love them.” quote by Abigail Tarttelin](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/06b/abigail-tarttelin-22690_different_in-the-end-how-is-anyone-any-different-f_604303.jpg)
