- 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.
