Pier Paolo Pasolini Quotes

What's the point of our life? Everything seems absurd until we die, and then it makes sense.

Well, life is dark, isn't it? Mostly, it's dreadful. At the same time, death is funny too. I mean, look at the fuss we make of it.

We are all racing towards death. No matter how many great, intellectual conclusions we draw during our lives, we know they're all only man-made, like God. I begin to wonder where it all leads. What can you do, except do what you can do as best you know how.

Life and death. They are somehow sweetly and beautifully mixed, but I don't know how.

It is only in the light of the inescapable fact of death that a person can adequately engage and enter upon the mysterious fact of life.

Nothing is a matter of life and death except life and death.

We do not know what to do with this short life, yet we want another which will be eternal.

You must realize that one day you will die. Until then you are worthless.

Death does determine life. Once life is finished it acquires a sense; up to that point it has not got a sense; its sense is suspended and therefore ambiguous. However, to be sincere I must add that for me death is important only if it is not justified and rationalized by reason. For me death is the maximum of epicness and death.

Death is more important than life. Life is just the trivial, just the superficial; death is deeper. Through death you grow to the real life, and through life you only reach death and nothing else.

I think life's an irrational obsession.

I think I want to talk about life from the point of view of death.

If we don't know life, how can we know death?

Life is wasted on the living.

How can we live and die and never know the difference?

You don't waste your entire life waiting to go back to dust.

Life is but a moment, death also is but another.

For me, life and death are very important themes. There is no life without death. That's why it's very important to me.

I think from my experience in war and life and science, it all has made me believe that we have one life on this planet.

Life and death matters, yes. And the question of how to behave in this world, how to go in the face of everything. Time is short and the water is rising.

My personal philosophy is, you can be sure of nothing.

Life and death have been lacking in my life.

Humans may be the only creatures on Earth who spend significant time thinking about the fact that someday their lives will end.

Death is an absolute mystery. We are all vulnerable to it, it's what makes life interesting and suspenseful.

Life is apogee, apex, decline; life is death - and everything else is open to discussion.
