A Quote by Ben Quilty

There is that interesting thing that Haughton Forrest was imagining the landscapes. They are so dramatic. They are dark, big, gloomy paintings and he was making them during some of the most ominous massacres in Tasmania. Forrest was recording history but missing the human story.

Forrest Mims is the author of the famous book 'Getting Started in Electronics,' published by RadioShack for many years. I bought the book in the 1980s and had a blast making the projects in it. When I was editor-in-chief of 'MAKE,' I asked Forrest to write a column for the magazine, called 'The Backyard Scientist.'

I like to watch comedies; the most dramatic that I used to get was 'Forrest Gump.'

Evan Peters

I'd never seen [Haughton] Forrest's work before until I came across it on the front of an ANZ book. I then researched a whole lot of his work.

I love 'Forrest Gump;' I like sweet, cheery, happy movies. But it has some dark moments too.

Andie MacDowell

For some people, I will be Forrest Gump for the rest of my life. But that's OK; that's a good thing.

Tom Hanks

Nathan Bedford Forrest ... used his horsemen as a modern general would use motorized infantry. He liked horses because he liked fast movement, and his mounted men could get from here to there much faster than any infantry could; but when they reached the field they usually tied their horses to trees and fought on foot, and they were as good as the very best infantry. Not for nothing did Forrest say the essence of strategy was to git thar fust with the most men.

Bruce Catton

I will knock out Vernon Forrest in two rounds whether I have a cigarette or not. I know a lot of people want to see me fight more rounds. So, if HBO wants, they can pick two sparring partners for me to fight after I knock out Forrest. That way, the audience can see me fight 12 rounds.

Ricardo Mayorga

After all, I think Forrest was the most remarkable man our Civil War produced on either side.

William Tecumseh Sherman

'Forrest Gump' was great, it was fabulous. It lasted much longer than anybody thought, and brought me a degree of attention that no human being on the face of the planet deserves.

Tom Hanks

I'm the Forrest Gump of comedy.

Dana Gould

I look like Forrest Gump.

Trixie Mattel

I turned down 'Forrest Gump.'

Chevy Chase

I saw "Forrest Gump" several times. I personally thought it was Tom Hanks' greatest role and I think it was one of the most eloquent love stories of our time.

The most extraordinary thing about trying to piece together the missing links in the evolutionary story is that when you do find a missing link and put it in the story, you suddenly need all these other missing links to connect to the new discovery. The gaps and questions actually increase - it's extraordinary.
