The Best Quotes From "Pulp Fiction"

"Pulp Fiction," directed by Quentin Tarantino and starring John Travolta, Uma Thurman, and Samuel L. Jackson, isn't for everyone. The movie, released in 1994, is brutal, stylized, and quirky. It comprises several overlapping stories that jump around in time while recounting the adventures and misadventures of two philosophical hit men, a brutal gangster, his sexy, flirtatious wife, and a boxer looking for a way out.

"Pulp Fiction" won the Academy Award for best original screenplay and was nominated for six others. Its sensibilities range from humor to gore, from cruelty to sweetness, and the razor-sharp dialogue is loaded with wit. The Oscar attests to the quality of the script, and the dialogue is memorable.
