Fullmetal Alchemist (2003)

Even when our eyes are closed, there’s a whole world out there that lives outside ourselves and our dreams.

Damn it, there’s so many idiots whose asses I have to kick! I’ll have to start carrying a list just to keep track of them all!

Alchemy is the science of understanding of what an object is made of, breaking it down, and putting it back together into something different.

How can you move forward if you keep regretting the past?

Stand up and walk. Move on. After all, you have perfect legs to stand on.

Just when I start thinking it’s within my reach, it runs away from me.It keeps going on like that. And this time when i feel like i finally got a hold on it, i got knocked by what i caught. Haha, looks like god really hates those men who broke his rules.

On the day we left, we burned down the family home and all the familiar things inside. Because some memories… aren’t meant to leave traces.

Dammit I know why they call this the Devil’s errand. The final ingredient in the Philosophers stone is live human beings.

To my friends and those I love, this is the path I have chosen, I’m sorry.

A lesson without pain is meaningless. For you cannot gain something without sacrificing something else in return. But once you have recovered it and made it your own… You will gain an irreplaceable Fullmetal heart.

The world isn’t perfect, and the law is incomplete. Equivalent Exchange doesn’t encompass everything that goes on here. But I still choose to believe in its principle: that all things do come at a price. That there’s an ebb, and a flow, a cycle. That the pain we went through did have a reward and that anyone who’s determined and perseveres will get something of value in return, even if it’s not what they expected.

It’s always a lot scarier dealing with the living. Give me a ghost to talk to any day.

You can call me Roy Mustang. Or just Lieutenant Colonel. Hell, you can call me the Flame Alchemist. Whatever you do, remember the pain.

Killed in Action, and promoted two ranks for it. Brigadier General Hughes. You were the guy who was supposed to work below me and to push me to the top. Then you get yourself killed and surpass me in the ranks. I don’t know what’s more absurd. You or the State.

The world’s not perfect, but it’s there for us trying the best it can. That’s what makes it so damn beautiful.

My right hand is the judgement of god!.

A man who inflicts suffering can’t rest. His guilty mind won’t allow it. But today, I can finally close my eyes to the living nightmare. And lay down, knowing that I won’t wake again.

Whether or not you exist doesn’t matter, because in a second… you won’t.

Our names are given to us by God. I have betrayed God, and so I no longer have a name.

Okay, here’s the plan: We go in, start hitting people, and see where it takes us.

Come on, this is contest of freaks, and I’m as normal as they come.

Master Sergeant Fuery, during your last physical it was discovered you have Athletes Foot, and we now believe it is affecting your brain.

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