About This Quote
This quote from the movie Forrest Gump is an insightful point on relationships. It is true that people can only love what they have while they have it. If a relationship ends, so does the love. However, this relationship had a purpose and a purpose is a great thing to keep. For example, if you fall in love with a person because of his/her good looks, you will only be able to love him/her as long as he/she is attractive.
