About This Quote

The promise of power wasn't enough, he thought. So now she tempts me with knowledge. This quote is from the movie "Forrest Gump." The film tells the story of a man who had a very rough life. He never had any money and never knew where he had come from.

But, while all of this was going on, he became a very intelligent man with a lot of knowledge about many different things. She tempts him with knowledge. That is the promise of power that she is offering him.

She offers him the power to become smart and wise. He could become more knowledgeable than anyone else in the world, possibly even smarter than Einstein.
