"Life that has been lost cannot be brough…" — Roy Mustang Quote

"You're not a good-for-nothing person. I think that being able to try your hardest to be something is a talent by itself."

— Alphonse Elric · Fullmetal Alchemist

"A Gun is Good. Unlike A sword or a knife, it doesn't leave the feeling of a person dying in your hands."

"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

"Alchemy: The science of understanding the structure of matter, breaking it down, then reconstructing it as something else. It can even make gold from lead. But alchemy is a science, so it must follow the natural laws: To create, something of equal value must be lost. This is the principle of Equivalent Exchange. But on that night, I learned the value of some things can't be measured on a simple scale. My brother and I knew the laws of science, of Equivalent Exchange, that gain required sacrifice, that something had to be taken from us. But we thought there was nothing more we could lose. We were wrong."

— Edward Elric · Fullmetal Alchemist

"Save your breath. The laws of alchemy don't justify murder!"

— 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
