My fav. quotes from ‘Forrest Gump’:
My momma always said, “Life was like a box of chocolates. You never know what you’re gonna get.”
You have to do the best with what God gave you.
Mama always said, dying was a part of life. I sure wish it wasn’t.
Mama says they was magic shoes. They could take me anywhere.
Now you wouldn’t believe me if I told you, but I could run like the wind blows. From that day on, if I was ever going somewhere, I was running!
Stupid is as stupid does.
You know it’s funny what a young man recollects? ‘Cause I don’t remember bein’ born. I don’t recall what I got for my first Christmas and I don’t know when I went on my first outdoor picnic. But I do remember the first time I heard the sweetest voice in the wide world.
Hello. My name’s Forrest, Forrest Gump. You want a chocolate?
My Mama always said you’ve got to put the past behind you before you can move on.
That day, for no particular reason, I decided to go for a little run. So I ran to the end of the road. And when I got there, I thought maybe I’d run to the end of town. And when I got there, I thought maybe I’d just run across Greenbow County. And I figured, since I run this far, maybe I’d just run across the great state of Alabama. And that’s what I did. I ran clear across Alabama. For no particular reason I just kept on going. I ran clear to the ocean. And when I got there, I figured, since I’d gone this far, I might as well turn around, just keep on going. When I got to another ocean, I figured, since I’d gone this far, I might as well just turn back, keep right on going.
