# Quote — Dustin Thao, You've Found Oliver

> I wish we could spend every day together. I don't want to keep waking up without him. This must be what it feels like to fall in love without saying the word.

"And what's it supposed to mean, exactly?" "It means you see the possibility in things," I say confidently. "Regardless of what you do. Everything's a universe, if you really think about it. "I like that," he says, nodding. "Maybe you should major in philosophy." "Don't know if I'm smart enough for that." "I think you're smarter than you think you are."
