Dialogues:
Andrej:- Never marry my friend.
at least not until you've done all you're capable of doing,
You're lucky, you still have your freedom.
Pierre:- Freedom? what you say freedom when you've no idea what to do with it.
Andrej:- "Dear Lord, what can i do?
Death, injury loss of my dear ones, nothing frightens me.
Man's suffering is unimportant if itsn't in the name of glory.
I would give everything for one day of glory.. one moment of triumph in front of man,
to win the admiration of those i don't know, and will never know."
Pierre: "Do you believe in life after death?
Andrej:- I would ... if i were still able to believe in this life.
I'm more like this trunk, which does not change with changing of the seasons."
Deel. 3
Napoleon: "I've heard a much about the beauties of the city Moscow,
I know it is full of churches and bell towers.
Andrej:- More than 200.
Napoleon: "An evident sign of backward people, don't you agree?
Andrej:- Every country has its own traditions.

Deel 4
Pierre: "Do you really think the French will leave Moscow?
Peasant: I dont know.
But the worms eat cabbage, but it always dies before the cabbage. That i do know.
Helene:- I don't want to be left alone.
French Soldier:- Hm.I shouldn't expect the creature like you would be alone for very long.
Napoleon: These Russian churches remind me of mosques.
.. They'll never understand the meaning of the civilization.
i am tired of this place.
Pierre: Without the God's wish, not a single hair fall from man's head.
Pierre: Nothing happens by chance, i know now Dolokhov.
CRITICS:
All is well but end is not.
Pierre and Natasha relation seemed all the way more respectalble like elder brother and younger sister, but in the end they get married.
Nikolai, a brave boy who was not going to compromise his love (Sonja) at any rate, but in the end he marrys Maria, only for financial reasons (going opposite as he seemed earlier).
Nikolai and Sonja, childhood lovers, get marriage to different people and still living in same house. It is strange to think how they look at each other now, do they still kiss whenever get chance!
I'll say it was Tragedy.
In the whole Drama, there was more War than Peace.
War either fought on borders or War in Love. Very less a happy family, couple or lover seemed.
Actually Tolstoy showed only happy family of Rostov in the beginning and end. In between there was only hatred, envy, jealousy, cheat, heart broken, grief, etc ...
I only feel sorry for Sonja, she was nice girl, and even her love was alive and living in the same house, she could not get it. Very bad Tolstoy.
