"Even with your stones, I'm on a whole ot…" — Edward Elric Quote

"There are some things that can only be conveyed through words."

— Winry Rockbell · Fullmetal Alchemist

"[To Father] You've certainly mellowed out... you used to be fun, full of life and emotion. Lust, Greed, Sloth, Gluttony, Envy, Wrath, and Pride. Of course, excessive want will destroy anyone, but those same desires are necessary to understand what it means to be human. Why did you rid yourself of them?"

— Van Hohenheim · Fullmetal Alchemist

"AHA-HA-HA! Alchemists are scientists. We don't believe in unprovable concepts like "God". *Rose looks angry* We strive to uncover the principles of creation in the matter of the world, to pursue truth... *gazes at Leto statue* it's ironic that we scientists... who don't believe in God... are in a sense the closest things to him."

— Edward Elric · Fullmetal Alchemist

"If a man will not work, he shall not eat."

— Olivier Mira Armstrong · Fullmetal Alchemist

"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

"Humankind cannot gain anything without first giving something in return. To obtain, something of equal value must be lost. That is alchemy's first law of equivalent exchange. In those days, we really believed that to be the world's one and only truth."

— Alphonse Elric · Fullmetal Alchemist
