Humor Quote by Matt Haig

““I'm sorry," I say. "About being a bit odd sometimes, at school." Camille shakes her head. "You really have to stop saying that. Incessant apologizing is never an attractive trait." "You're right. The thing is, I really am quite bad, you know, with people." "Ah, them. People. Yes, it's hard." "And I have a lot, sometimes, going on in my head." "Join the club." "There's a club?" "No. There are too many people in clubs. But it's fine. Be how you want to be.””
