Quote of the day by Uma Thurman is linked to one of the most remembered scenes in Pulp Fiction, the 1994 film written and directed by Quentin Tarantino. The line is spoken by Mia Wallace, played by Uma Thurman, while she is talking to Vincent Vega, played by John Travolta. Mia questions why people often feel the need to speak about things that do not matter when silence makes them uncomfortable. The conversation leads to a statement about finding someone special when silence can be shared without tension. The line connects relationships with comfort, peace, stillness and reduced anxiety.
