I Know What Love Is

At its core, the story of Forrest Gump is an epic love story between him and Jenny (Robin Wright). It teaches us that it is okay to believe in pure, true love.

  • “I am not a smart man, but I know what love is.”

People Call Me Forrest Gump

Gump emphasizes that he likes being called by his full name. No matter his achievements, he will always be Forrest Gump. How many people in your life do you know that always prefer to go by their full name? Do you respect them more than others?

  • “My name is Forrest Gump. People call me Forrest Gump.”

Like Carrots And Peas

  • “Jenny and I are like carrots and peas.”

A Man Only Needs So Much Fortune

This is one of the most inspirational Forrest Gump quotes from the film and shows us the difference that the wealthy can make by sharing their fortune. After making a lot of money from Bubba Gump Shrimp and an investment in a fruit company (aka Apple Computer) thanks to his Vietnam friend Lt. Dan (Gary Sinise), Forrest chooses to share his money, not keep it all.

  • “Mama said a man only needs so much fortune. More than that is just showing off.”

The Rocks Are Just Not Enough

This quote symbolizes our frustrations. The love of his life tries to throw rocks at the source of her pain.

The Million Dollar Wound

This quote is luck. Forrest was lucky that he only got shot in the buttocks and survived the war.

  • “They said it was a million-dollar wound, but the army must keep that money ’cause I still haven’t seen a nickel of that million dollars.”

Sh!t Happens

While Forrest Gump was running back and forth across America, a guy in the “bumper sticker business” runs up to Forrest asking for advice. He’s looking for a new bumper sticker idea when Forrest runs through a pile of dog poop during their conversation and doesn’t care. The bumper sticker guy can’t believe it, but Forrest just simply says, “It happens.” Bad stuff happens in life. You can let it destroy you or just keep on moving.

  • “It happens.”

That’s All I Have To Say About That

Forrest Gump would immediately move on to the next topic once he said all he had to.

  • “That’s all I have to say about that.”
