Quote by Pier Paolo Pasolini

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.

Once life is finished it acquires a sense; up to that point

Summary

This quote suggests that life gains meaning only after it comes to an end. Prior to its completion, life is portrayed as lacking a clear purpose or direction, making it inherently ambiguous. The passage implies that the meaning of life is elusive and uncertain until it reaches its conclusion and all the events and experiences within it can be evaluated in retrospect. In essence, the quote reflects on the notion that life's sense of purpose becomes evident only as a result of reflection and hindsight after it has ended.
