"Told you, Rose. Get too close to the sun…" — Edward Elric Quote

"You can't change reality, just your perception!"

"Dad left... A long time ago, when brother and I were still boys. Mom stared off into the distance a lot. But she carried on as if nothing were wrong."

— Alphonse Elric · Fullmetal Alchemist

"You're lucky Al. Since your body's huge."

"I hate deserts. It's nothing but sand. *collapses* If there was some grass, I could turn it into bread. I'm starving! Huh? Hey! Al, where'd you go? Al? Hey!"

— Edward Elric · 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."

"But you're thinking on too large a scale there, kid... If we don't want to drive ourselves crazy, we can only deal with what's directly in front of us."

— Roy Mustang · Fullmetal Alchemist
