"I can't tell you that… You have to figur…" — Edward Elric Quote

"In general, men prefer to let their actions speak instead of words. When they're in pain, they don't want to burden anyone with it, not if they can help it. They don't want anyone to worry about them. That's how they are. Even so, there may come a time when they'll ask for your help. And when they do, I know that you'll be there for them. Isn't that enough?"

— Maes Hughes · Fullmetal Alchemist

"Don't look away, Rose! You need to see what happens when you try to bring a human to life, when you cross into God's territory or whatever the hell it is! Is this what you want?! Look!!"

— Edward Elric · Fullmetal Alchemist

"People can say there is a balance, a logic that everything happens for a reason... But the truth is far less designed. No matter how hard you work, when you die, you die. Some spend their entire life trying to scratch their way to the top, and still die in poverty. While others are born into wealth without ever working at all. It's a cruel and random world. And yet the chaos is all so beautiful."

— Dante (Fullmetal Alchemist) · Fullmetal Alchemist

"You think surrendering, and offering yourself will stop the war? How arrogant. The life of each human is worth one, that's it. Nothing more, nothing less."

— King Bradley · Fullmetal Alchemist

"[To Lan Fan] Brat, quit blabbering on about trifling topics such as love and sadness. Don't underestimate us. She's the woman I chose. A will is unnecessary between us. That's usually how it is between a King and his companion."

— King Bradley · Fullmetal Alchemist

"Life that has been lost cannot be brought back again. That very truth is what shows us the meaning and value of living."

— Roy Mustang · Fullmetal Alchemist
