War and Peace Movie Quotes
Prince Andrei Bolkonsky
There must be something you want to do.
Pierre Bezukhov
I want to discover... everything! I want to discover why I know what's right and still do what's wrong. I want to discover what happiness is, and what value there is in suffering. I want to discover why men go to war, and what they really say deep in their hearts when they pray. I want to discover what men and women feel when they say they love.

When I finally say I love you to any man and really mean it, it will be like a defeated general who's lost all his troops, surrendering and handing his sword to the enemy.

Did you notice he almost never smiles? While I was singing, I turned around suddenly and caught him looking at me and he was smiling then. And I felt - but it's almost impossible to describe - I felt as if someone had given me the most enormous, beautiful present.

Gen. Kutuzov
[about retreating from Moscow]
Russia's ancient and sacred capitol? Allow me to tell you, Your Excellency, that that question has no meaning for a Russian! Such a question cannot be put! It's senseless! The question I've asked you and these gentlemen to meet and discuss is a military one! The question is of saving Russia! Is it better to give up Moscow without a battle or, by accepting battle, lose the army as well as Moscow? Well, gentlemen, I see I am the one who has to pay for the broken crockery. Gentlemen, I've heard your views. Some of you will not agree with me, but I , by the authority entrusted to me by my sovereign and my country... order a retreat.

Well, can't you see for yourself?
Natasha Rostov
Not without changing the expression on my face.
Nicholas Rostov
Natasha, you know, there's one awful thing about you.
Natasha Rostov
Tell it to me! Tell me the whole truth.
Nicholas Rostov
No girl I'll ever meet will ever be able to amuse me as much as you do.

Time and patience. Patience and time. The Grand Army is wounded, but is it mortally wounded? An apple should not be plucked while it's green. Patience and time.

Natasha Rostov
Do I look disdainful?
Nicholas Rostov
No!
Natasha Rostov
You're impossible! I'm sure I look disdainful.
Nicholas Rostov
Well, what do you want to look disdainful for?
Natasha Rostov
Well, I thought if I looked bored and disdainful nobody would notice that this is the first ball I've ever been to... How's this? Better?
Nicholas Rostov
Oh, that's much better.
Natasha Rostov
Good.

[opens the bedroom drapes, while his spoiled wife sleeps on]
Come on, Helene! We've got lots to do if we want to leave for the country.
Helene Kuragina
[very sleepy]
Oh Pierre, it's so early!
[he kisses her, and she gets a crafty look on her face]
Helene Kuragina
Besides, it's so boring in the country.
Pierre Bezukhov
[Seriously]
I'm sorry, my dear, but I promised those peasants I'd come and see them. They need a new hospital, and a new school, and many other things besides.
Helene Kuragina
[very spoiled]
Well they can starve just as well without a school, and they can die just as well without a hospital!
[catches herself, changes her tune]
Helene Kuragina
Pierre, why don't you go on without me? You can do what you have to do, and I'll come visit you in a few months time.
[Slyly]
Helene Kuragina
You'll appreciate me so much more after a few months of sleeping alone.
