Recently, I was following the British drama "War & Peace", and I saw what Pierre said to encourage Andre in the third episode. I watched it back and forth several times: You know, so many good things can happen for you. Since I became a Mason and started to live a good life, I feel capable of anything! We must live. You know, we must love. We must believe that there's more to it all than our lives on this scrap of earth. There's something else out there , it's true...Audrei. You must believe it. I don't even remember seeing this part of the book when I was young, but when I saw the film today, I was moved. Maybe you have to wait for some books to ferment before they can be touched. We They were all pure and indomitable Pierre, since when did we lose the courage to believe? we must live, we must love.

Pierre Bezukhov: [voice-over] They say sufferings are misfortunes. But if I was asked, would I stay as I was before I was taken prisoner, or go through it all again? I would say for God's sake, let me be a prisoner again.
Pierre Bezukhov: Come, let's sit and eat and give thanks for our good fortune.
Pierre Bezukhov: [voice-over continued] When our lives are knocked off course, we imagine everything in them is lost. But 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.
