He essentially states that he agrees with the possibility of both theories coming to pass. Robert Frost’s poem, “Fire and Ice,” is a poem about exploring two possible causes of how humanity will destroy itself, either with fire (desire), or ice (hate), or maybe both. First, the meter in this poem is…

Just run away” (Robert Zemeckis, Forrest Gump). That quote from the movie shows how much she cares about him just being him. Have you ever had someone you could go to for just about anything?
