War & Peace

Pierre Bezukhov:
Surely it is wrong that one man should own so much.

Prince Vassily Kuragin:
The saying is, that we don't own our earthly possessions we merely curate for our heirs, for the generations to come. Looked at that way it's an honour and a duty.

Pierre Bezukhov:
They say sufferings are our misfortunes. But if I was asked if I'd stay as I was before I was taken prisoner or go through it all again, I'd say for god's sake let me be a prisoner again. When our lives are knocked off course we imagine everything in them is lost. It is only the start of something new and good. As long as there is life there is happiness. There is a great deal, a great deal still to come.

Marya Bolkonskaya:
If you knew how long I've been waiting for you!
