“I have four sons in the army, and I do not grieve. It is all as God wills: a man may die lying on the stove, and in battle God may spare him,” came, without the slightest effort, from the other end of the table, the deep voice of Marya Dmitrievna.  
“That is so.”

**“War and Peace, Book 1”, Leo Tolstoy**
