Quotes
-
Countess Rostova : I trust in providence. I was never happy about your engagement to Bolkonsky.
Natasha Rostova : Don't say that.
Countess Rostova : No, it wasn't... I think you were quite right to break it off. Even though it was a blow to us. I see now that that was providence too. Yes, my dear, I firmly believe it. That was providence too.

Sonya : Do you realize there's hardly a family left in Moscow, and we've only just begun to pack?
Natasha Rostova : Sorry, Sonya. What shall I do?
Sonya : Well, start packing the dinner services.
Natasha Rostova : Well, I don't see why we have to take all this china.
Sonya : That's what you keep saying. You ask me what we should do and I tell you, and you say you don't see why we should do it.
Natasha Rostova : Honestly, Sonya, it's all going to get broken on the journey.
Sonya : Not if we pack it carefully. You don't seem to understand. The things in this house are worth hundreds and thousands of rubles. We can't afford to leave them here.
Natasha Rostova : You're right, Sonya. Of course you are. I'll go and get the china.
-
Countess Rostova : They're not our problem. Do you want us to leave everything?
Natasha Rostova : Well, I don't care about everything. I don't care about your bits of wood and china. Well... well... these are human beings! My God, Mama, one of them could be your own son. And all you can think about are your ornaments! I'm sorry, Mama. I'm sorry but... well, it isn't right.
Countess Rostova : My dear, you arrange what is right. No, I don't understand these things.
Count Rostov : My love, she is right. How can we leave them? Empty the carts. Leave everything here. What do we care at a time like this?

Count Rostov : Mitenka, unload two carts. Let them travel with us. A few. What harm can it do?
Natasha Rostova : You heard him, Mitenka. Unload three of the carts.
Mitenka : He said two.
Natasha Rostova : Unload three. Take my things out of one of them.
