Quotes 

  • [Prince Andrei is dying] 

    Prince Andrei Bolkonsky : Natasha... I love you too much. More than anything in the world.

    Natasha Rostova : And I! But why too much?

    Prince Andrei Bolkonsky : Why too much? Well, what do you think? What do you feel in your soul, deep in your soul? Shall I live? What do you think?

    Natasha Rostova : I'm sure of it.

    Prince Andrei Bolkonsky : How good that would be.

  • Prince Andrei Bolkonsky : How quiet, peaceful. How majestic. How different from all the running, shouting, and fighting. How is it I never noticed that glorious sky before? How happy I am that I have seen it at last. Yes, all is vanity. All is false except for that endless sky. Nothing exists but the sky. And even the sky does not exist. There is nothing...

  • Pierre Bezukhov : It is wrong to do evil to another human being.

    Prince Andrei Bolkonsky : How do you know what will do harm to another man? I know only two evils in life: a bad conscience and a sick body. Happiness consists in their absence. One must live for oneself, avoiding these two evils. That is my philosophy now.

    Pierre Bezukhov : How is it possible to live only for oneself? No! A thousand times no! I feel, deep within my soul, I am an integral part of a vast whole. I feel I cannot vanish without a trace. Nothing vanishes! I always have existed and always will.

  • Prince Andrei Bolkonsky : No! My life is not over at the age of 31. It is not enough for me to know all that is inside me.

  • Prince Andrei Bolkonsky : I want everyone to know me so that my life is not to be lived for myself alone. It must cast its reflection upon the lives of others so that we may live in harmony.

  • Prince Andrei Bolkonsky : War is not about decency. It is the lowest thing men stoop to. One must realize and not make a game out of war. War is a dreadful necessity. Cast off the lies and see war as war. It is no game. Men come together, like they will tomorrow, to murder one another. They will kill each other, maim thousands upon thousands and then hold sacred services and offer up their prayers for having killed so many human beings. And they'll exaggerate it in the retelling and embellish the victory. The side that kills the most people wins the most honors. Whoever succeeds in killing the most people gets the greatest rewards. How can God bear to witness such things?

  • Prince Andrei Bolkonsky : Yes, that was death. I was dead, and I awoke. Yes. Death is an awakening.

  • Prince Andrei Bolkonsky : The whole world is now divided in two. She is one half of it. Where she is, there is hope and light. The other half is where she is not. Darkness and gloom is there.

  • Prince Andrei Bolkonsky : If she goes to her cousin first and then to another lady, then she will be my wife.

  • Prince Andrei Bolkonsky : Pardon me. We will finish this conversation elsewhere. At a ball, one should dance.

  • Prince Andrei Bolkonsky : You talk about Bonaparte and his career. When Bonaparte set out to accomplish his goals, he was free. He wanted nothing in life but these goals, and he achieved them. And here? Nothing but balls, gossip, receptions... all vanity! A vicious circle from which I cannot free myself.

  • Prince Andrei Bolkonsky : Whatever happens, turn to Pierre for help and advice. He is absent-minded and comical, but he has a heart of gold.

  • Prince Andrei Bolkonsky : I said that a fallen woman should be forgiven. But I didn't say that I could forgive her. I can't.

  • Pierre Bezukhov : Here we have this war with Napoleon. If it were a war for freedom, I would understand it and I would be the first to join the army. But I am against helping England and Austriato fight the world's greatest man. That's not right.

    Prince Andrei Bolkonsky : If we only fought for our convictions, there'd be no war.

    Pierre Bezukhov : Ah, that would be perfect!

    Prince Andrei Bolkonsky : Perhaps perfect, but hardly possible.

  • Prince Andrei Bolkonsky : What if there were nothing left but to die? Well, if I have to, I will die as bravely as anyone.

  • Pierre Bezukhov : What are you going to war for?

    Prince Andrei Bolkonsky : What for? I don't know. It's necessary.

  • Prince Andrei Bolkonsky : Never marry, my friend. That's my advice. Do not marry until you can say to yourself that you have accomplished all you intend to accomplish and until you have ceased being in love with the woman of your choice and you can view her clearly. Or you'll be making a cruel and irrevocable mistake. Marry only when you are a useless old man, for everything that is good and noble in you will be lost.

  • Prince Nikolai Andreevich Bolkonsky : Thank you. Thank you.

    Prince Andrei Bolkonsky : Why should you thank me?

    Prince Nikolai Andreevich Bolkonsky : For not hanging back, not clinging to your wife's petticoats, for putting service first. Thank you. Thank you.

  • Prince Andrei Bolkonsky : I long to be known to all people and to be loved by everyone. Am I to be blamed for wanting that, for living for glory? Yes, for that alone!

  • Prince Andrei Bolkonsky : I will never admit it to a soul, but what am I to do? Death, wounds, the loss of my family - all this is nothing! I'd give everything for a moment of glory, for an instant of triumph, and the love of people I do not know nor will ever know.

  • Pierre Bezukhov : Thank God I did not kill the man.

    Prince Andrei Bolkonsky : Why? Killing a vicious dog is a good deed.

    Pierre Bezukhov : It's evil to kill a human being. It's wrong. It's not fair.

    Prince Andrei Bolkonsky : Why is it unfair? We cannot judge what is fair and what is not. Men have always erred in their judgment. They always will.

  • Prince Andrei Bolkonsky : Spring. And love. And happiness. Haven't you grown weary of this foolish, senseless illusion? Over and over again, and all sheer illusion. There is no Spring. No sun. No happiness. I don't believe in your hopes and illusions.

  • Prince Andrei Bolkonsky : The only thing that convinces me is life and death. That's what convinces me. What is convincing is seeing someone dear to you, someone dependent upon you - who you have injured and with whom you had hoped to make it right - and then that someone is seized with pain and agony and ceases to be. Why? There must be an answer.

    Pierre Bezukhov : Yes, of course.

    Prince Andrei Bolkonsky : I am only saying it is not logic that convinces. What convinces is seeing someone close to you disappear - there - into nowhere, leaving you staring down into the abyss. And I starred into it.

  • Prince Andrei Bolkonsky : He knew that tomorrow's battle was to be the worst he had ever taken part in. And the possibility of death, vividly, clearly presented itself to him.

  • Prince Andrei Bolkonsky : My country. The fall of Moscow. Tomorrow, I shall be killed. Then why this trial when tomorrow I shall cease to exist? I won't exist, so who is this trial for? New conditions of life will begin about which I will know nothing. I will cease to be. I will no longer exist. I will no longer exist.

  • Prince Andrei Bolkonsky : Success does not depend on positions or weapons nor even the number of men.

    Pierre Bezukhov : Then on what?

    Prince Andrei Bolkonsky : It depends on the feeling within me, within him, within every soldier.

  • Prince Andrei Bolkonsky : They surrendered all of Europe to Napoleon and now come here to teach us. Fine teachers.

    Pierre Bezukhov : So you think we will win tomorrow's battle?

    Prince Andrei Bolkonsky : Yes, but if I had it in my power, I would do one thing. I would take no prisoners. The French destroyed my home and mean to destroy Moscow. They have insulted me and continue to insult me every second. They are my enemies. They are criminals. Timokhin thinks as I do. The whole army too. We must punish them. They plunder and kill our children. How can we talk about rules of war and mercy? We must take no prisoners, but kill and be prepared to die.

  • Prince Andrei Bolkonsky : What will happen to us tomorrow? To me, tomorrow is simple. 100,000 Russian soldiers and 100,000 French soldiers will meet in combat. Those 200,000 are going to fight. The side that is fiercest and spares itself least is the side that will win. Tomorrow, whatever the circumstances, we are certain to win.

    Timoshin : True, very true, Your Excellency. We'll not spare ourselves. The men in my battalion wouldn't touch their vodka. "This is not the day for that," they said.

  • Prince Andrei Bolkonsky : Can this be death? I can't. I don't want to die. I love life! I love this grass, this earth, this air!

  • Prince Andrei Bolkonsky : For me now, the world is divided into two. She is one part where you find happiness, hope and light. The other part is all where she isn't, and that's all gloom. Gloom and darkness.

  • Prince Andrei Bolkonsky : Can't you see? We're either officers serving our czar and fatherland, rejoicing over our common success or mourning our common failure, or we're lackeys who don't give a damn about the master's affairs. Forty thousand people have died, our ally's army has been destroyed, and you are able to joke about it. Only silly kids can amuse themselves in this way.

  • Prince Andrei Bolkonsky : You must not always say what you think.

  • Prince Andrei Bolkonsky : If you must play the buffoon, there is nothing I can do about it. But if you make such jests in my presence again, I will teach you manners.

  • Prince Andrei Bolkonsky : What's the matter? Either we're officers serving our czar and country... rejoicing in the successes or suffering the misfortunes of our common cause... or lackeys who don't give a damn about our masters' affairs. 40,000 men have fallen, our allies have been wiped out, and you find it funny! Only children amuse themselves like this.

  • Prince Andrei Bolkonsky : With your permission, I would prefer to remain here in Prince Bagration's unit.

    Field Marshal Kutuzov : Get in. I, too, am in need of good officers. Yes, I am in need of them myself. There is a great deal yet to be done. If tomorrow, just one-tenth of Prince Bagration's detachment returns, I will praise the Lord.

    Prince Andrei Bolkonsky : That is why I ask to be assigned to that detachment.
