TV series: War and peace (1967)

And the benefit to people, who in a moment of testing, not asking about how the rules have the others done in such cases, with the simplicity and ease raises first a club and gvozdic it until, while in his soul the sense of insult and revenge is not replaced contempt and pity.

So, gentlemen, therefore, I have to pay for the broken pots.

One thing, what would I do, if I had the power, I wouldn't take prisoners. The French have destroyed my home and are coming to destroy Moscow, they have outraged and are outraging me every second. They are my enemies, they are all criminals, in my opinion! And so thinks Timokhin and the whole army. It is necessary to execute them. Robbing the wrong house, kill my children, my father, and talk about the rules of war and magnanimity to enemies. Take no prisoners, but kill and be killed! War is not courtesy but the vilest thing in life, and we need to understand that and not play at war. It should be taken strictly and seriously this terrible necessity. All of this: discard the lies, and the war as a war, not a toy.

Success never has depended and never will depend on position, nor weapons, nor even of the number; and least of all from the position.
- But why?
- From that feeling which is in me, in him, [he pointed to Timokhin] each soldier. Why we at Austerlitz lost the battle? Position? It's all rubbish! Nothing! There is no need was there to fight: as soon as possible wanted to leave the field of battle. What we will have tomorrow? To me, it is this: one hundred, one hundred Russian and French armies met to fight, and the fact that these two hundred thousand fighting and who will fight the hardest and spare themselves the least will, he wins. Tomorrow, whatever it is, we shall win the battle!

Oh, advisers, advisers!.. Advisers are always plentiful, but men, no... Everything as soon as possible, but rather how long it goes? To take fortress it is easy, difficult campaign to win, and this takes patience and time.

I saw in the same order, he, Bolkonsky, he is. Do you think he will forgive me someday? He will not have against me? What do you think? What do you think?
- I think He has nothing to forgive...

If you have a spark of conscience... amuse yourself with women like my wife - with these your right, they know what you want from them. They are armed against you by the same experience of debauchery; but to promise a girl to marry her... to deceive, to steal... How can you not understand that this is as despicable as killing an old man or a child!

Yes, there's the oak...
"Spring, love, and happiness! And how will not bother you all the same stupid, senseless deception. All the same, and all of the hype! There is no spring, no sun, no happiness. Not believe in your hopes and deceptions."
Yes, he's right, a thousand times right, this oak, let others, the young, to succumb to this deception, but we know life, our life is over! Have to live your life, doing no evil, not worrying and not wanting anything.

And if there is nothing left but to die? Well, if I had to! I'll do it no worse than others.

It is impossible, mon cher, everywhere is all to say, that only think.

All the thoughts that have huge consequences are always simple - that if people are evil are linked together and constitute a force, then honest people must do the same. It is as simple as.
