"You can't change reality, just your perc…" — Father Quote

"Foolish alchemists who have turned their backs on the ways of God...shall all be punished."

"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

"The power of one man doesn't amount to much. But, however little strength I'm capable of, I'll do everything humanly possible to protect the people I love, and in turn they will protect the ones they love. It seems like the least we tiny humans can do for each other."

— Roy Mustang · Fullmetal Alchemist

"What could be more beautiful than doing work that puts your soul at risk, because that's what it means to be alive!"

— Solf J. Kimblee · Fullmetal Alchemist

"Like I always say, can't find a door? Make your own."

— Edward Elric · Fullmetal Alchemist

"The Philosopher's Stone: those who possess it, no longer bound by the laws of equivalent exchange in alchemy, can gain without sacrifice...create without equal exchange. We searched for it... and we found it."

— Alphonse Elric · Fullmetal Alchemist
