"Hey, mutt! I need exercise, so I'll play…" — Edward Elric Quote

"Everything we see, everyone we meet, is caught up in a great unseen flow. But it's bigger than that. It's the entire world, the entire universe even. And compared to something as big as that, Al, you and I are tiny, not even the size of ants. Only one small part within a much greater flow. Nothing more than a fraction of the whole. But by putting all those "ones" together, you get one great "All", just like Teacher said. The flow of this universe follows laws of such magnitude that you and I can't even imagine them."

— Edward Elric · Fullmetal Alchemist

"I lost my pawns, my knight, my rook, my bishop, and even my queen. But, it's not checkmate, just yet."

— Roy Mustang · Fullmetal Alchemist

"[telling Mustang about the investigation on Scar] His bloodstained clothes washed up further downstream. We don't know if that means that he's dead, or just naked."

— Maes Hughes · Fullmetal Alchemist

"*referring to Alphonse* This pain's nothing...compared to what he's given up..."

— Edward Elric · 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

"You want to bring back someone that you've lost. You might want money. Maybe you want women. Or, you might want to protect the world. These are all common things people want. Things that their hearts desire. Greed may not be good, but it's not so bad, either. You humans think greed is just for money and power! But everyone wants something they don't have."

— Greed · Fullmetal Alchemist
