Nikolai Rostov
- Natasha Rostova: I think that when one goes on and on recalling things - recalling everything - one at last begins to remember what happened before one was born.
- Sonia Rostova: It's metempsychosis. The Egyptians believed that our souls inhabited the bodies of animals.
- Natasha Rostova: No. I don't believe that we were ever animals. I am sure we were angels somewhere out there and have been here before and that's why we remember things.
- Nikolai Rostov: If we were angels, why did we fall so low? This can't be.
- Natasha Rostova: Not lower. Who said we were lower? How do I know what I was before? If the soul is immortal. If I'm to live forever, I must have lived before, lived for a whole eternity.
