"Some memories... aren't meant to leave t…" — Alphonse Elric Quote

"Any man who has the brains to think and the nerve to act for the benefit of the people of the country, is considered a radical, by those who are content with stagnation and willing to endure disaster."

— Roy Mustang · Fullmetal Alchemist

"This body comes with many inconveniences. But inconveniences don't make me miserable! There is no reason for you to pity me! My life was put back together with alchemy by my brother. If I deny myself, that would mean I'm denying my brother, along with alchemy. I believe in the potential that alchemy holds. I want to believe in it!"

— Alphonse Elric · Fullmetal Alchemist

"I sunk again. *after sinking in the desert*"

— Alphonse Elric · Fullmetal Alchemist

"Ah... what a beautiful sound. It doesn't get any better than that. I can feel it deep in my bones, like a part of me I never noticed before. That sound is an extension of my being. And this land - this land that's governed by death - I will paint it red with this shard of destruction."

— Solf J. Kimblee · Fullmetal Alchemist

"Memories... of the people we were. They're subtle, but they're real. It took me a lot of time to understand what I saw. Books say we shouldn't have memories. Or at least that they're only the memories and emotions of the alchemists who made us. But they are wrong. Those memories are mine."

— Lust · Fullmetal Alchemist

"I've been thinking about this for a long time. We put all our trust in alchemy but in the end... what is it? "Alchemy is the science of understanding the flow of matter and its laws. The process of comprehension, deconstruction, and reconstruction. The world flows too. It must also follow laws. Everything circulates. Even death is a part of that circulation. You must accept the flow." Hmm, Teacher sure drummed that into our heads, didn't she? I thought I understood it. But I don't understand anything... Mom proves that. Now here I am again, trying desperately to figure out a way to do the impossible. I'm such a hopeless idiot. All this time and I haven't grown up one bit. I thought maybe the rain would wash away some of this gloom that's been following me... but right now, every drop that hits my face is even more depressing."

— Edward Elric · Fullmetal Alchemist
