"There's no such thing as no such thing."

"They don't call me Greed for nothing! I want money, I want women, status and power! I want everything this world's selling and eternity's topping the list!"

"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."

"I can't tell you that… You have to figure it out. Stand up and walk. Keep moving forward. You've got two good legs. So get up and use them. You're strong enough to make your own path."

"Greed may not be good, but it’s not so bad either. You humans think greed is just for money or power, but everyone wants something they can’t have."

— Greed · Fullmetal Alchemist

"You know, it's funny. Every crook I meet wants to tell me how much I'm just like them. But there's a big difference between you and me and the burdens we bear."

— Edward Elric · Fullmetal Alchemist

"The heroes during times of war, are nothing but mass murderers during times of peace."
