War and Peace
1956
Natasha Rostov: When I finally say I love you to any man and really mean it, it will be like a defeated general who's lost all his troops, surrendering and handing his sword to the enemy.
Natasha Rostov: Did you notice he almost never smiles? While I was singing, I turned around suddenly and caught him looking at me and he was smiling then. And I felt - but it's almost impossible to describe - I felt as if someone had given me the most enormous, beautiful present.
Natasha Rostov: Nicholas. Nicholas Rostov: Yes? Natasha Rostov: The expression on my face. Nicholas Rostov: What about it? Natasha Rostov: Do I look disdainful? Nicholas Rostov: No! Natasha Rostov: You're impossible. I'm sure I look disdainful. Nicholas Rostov: Well, what do you want to look disdainful for? Natasha Rostov: Well, I thought if I looked bored and disdainful nobody would notice that this is the first ball I've ever been to. How's this? Better? Nicholas Rostov: Oh, that's much better. Natasha Rostov: Good.
Natasha Rostov: Nicholas. Nicholas Rostov: What now? Natasha Rostov: Is everybody looking at me? Nicholas Rostov: Well, can't you see for yourself? Natasha Rostov: Not without changing the expression on my face. Nicholas Rostov: Natasha, you know, there's one awful thing about you. Natasha Rostov: Tell it to me! Tell me the whole truth. Nicholas Rostov: No girl I'll ever meet will ever be able to amuse me us much as you do. Natasha Rostov: Shh... Don't talk like that.
Pierre Bezukhov: I have sinned, Lord, but I have several excellent excuses.
Pierre Bezukhov: You can't hate something you've never known or understood.
