“*Ed crawling through an air vent* Che. It's so tight, it makes me glad that I have a small body. ........................ Shit! I just admitted I'm small!”
“AHA-HA-HA! Alchemists are scientists. We don't believe in unprovable concepts like "God". *Rose looks angry* We strive to uncover the principles of creation in the matter of the world, to pursue truth... *gazes at Leto statue* it's ironic that we scientists... who don't believe in God... are in a sense the closest things to him.”
“Maybe life has no equal trade, maybe you can give up all you got, and get nothing back. Even if I can't prove it's true, I have to try, for your sake, Al.”
“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.”
“I will do what I can, even if my chance of passing is minuscule, if that will allow me to move forward.”
“Revenge that involves unrelated people isn’t valid at all. All he’s doing is hiding his vengeful hate with the title of God’s representative and acting sublime.”
“How can you move forward if you keep regretting the past?”
“Everything we see, everyone we meet, is caught up in a great unseen flow. But it's bigger than that. It's the entire world, the entire universe even. And compared to something as big as that, Al, you and I are tiny, not even the size of ants. Only one small part within a much greater flow. Nothing more than a fraction of the whole. But by putting all those "ones" together, you get one great "All", just like Teacher said. The flow of this universe follows laws of such magnitude that you and I can't even imagine them.”
“Even when our eyes are closed, there's a whole world out there, that lives outside of ourselves and our dreams.”
“I'm not short, I just live in a big world.”
“A lesson without pain is meaningless. That's because no one can gain without sacrificing something. But by enduring that pain and overcoming it, he shall obtain a powerful, unmatched heart... A Fullmetal Heart.”
“I think people should try to ignore their race, and just treat each other as equals.”
“Even when our eyes are closed, there's a whole world out there that lives outside ourselves and our dreams.”
“I'm not short! I'm fun-sized!”
“Even your gravest mistakes shouldn't stop you from moving forward.”
“Like I always say, can't find a door? Make your own.”
“There are always things more important than someone's dream...”
“There's no way I'm dying before you do, you morally bankrupt Colonel with a God complex.”
“The great flow that maintains the universe, call it the cycle of life, the course of nature each one of us is just a small part of that part. One in the all. Yet without all the individual ones, the all can't exist. This world flows by following grander laws that we can't even imagine. To recognize that flow, to work in it. To decompose, and recreate, that is alchemy.”
“Sun, it's just a mass of hydrogen... Get too close to it and all you do is burn.”
“WHO ARE YOU CALLING SO SMALL YOU WANNA CRUSH LIKE AN ANT?!”
“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.”
“It was just a rebound! Don't make a big deal over one or two arms!”
“Hey, mutt! I need exercise, so I'll play with you!”
“Attention, gun-toting extremists! Can you hear me all right, or did you blow your ears out playing target practice?”
“Whoever invented stew is brilliant! It has milk in it and it still tastes good.”
“Come down here and face me, you third-rate fraud. I'll show you there's no comparison between us!”
“*referring to Winry* I didn't know she could be so cute.”
“DON'T CALL ME SMALL! I'LL BREAK DOWN YOUR FEET AND STICK THEM ON YOUR HEAD!!”
“Even with your stones, I'm on a whole other level!”
“Yeah, I get it. You couldn't see me since I'm so short, you couldn't distinguish me from all the grains of sand. VERY FUNNY!!”
“Come on now. Is that anyway to talk to your new boss, landlord, and all-around overseer?”
“If there's no door, then I'll make one!”
“WHO ARE YOU CALLING A RUNT SO TINY HE COULD ONLY BE SEEN WITH A MAGNIFYING GLASS, YOU JERK!”
“*grabs two citizens and swings them around in a circle* Shorty?! Could a shorty do this?! What else you want to call me: a half-pint bean-sprout midget?! I'm still growing you backwater desert idiots!”
“Told you, Rose. Get too close to the sun, and you'll burn.”
“Don't look away, Rose! You need to see what happens when you try to bring a human to life, when you cross into God's territory or whatever the hell it is! Is this what you want?! Look!!”
“You combined animals, the most depraved kind of alchemy there is.”
“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!”
“*spits out his juice* I don't think so, pops! Do I look like a clown to you?!”
“WHO ARE YOU CALLING A MOUSY LITTLE PIPSQUEAK?!”
“By the way, I don't get my skills from a pocketwatch.”
“Nobody calls me a pipsqueak and gets away with it! Not even a little girl!”
“*referring to Alphonse* This pain's nothing...compared to what he's given up...”
“Awww!! There are just so many people whose asses I have to kick!”
“Stand up and walk... Move on... After all, you have perfect legs to stand on...”
“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.”
“[To Envy] Now I see. You're Jealous. You're jealous of humans, aren't you? According to you, humans are supposed to be a lot weaker than Homunculi. And yet, even if they get discouraged after being beaten, and even if they get close to falling down after losing their paths, they continue to get up and fight. Everyone around them helps them get back up. And you're envious of that.”
“It's like that myth about the hero... He made wings out of wax so he could fly... but when he got too close to the sun... to God... the wax melted and he crashed to the ground...”
“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.”
“Wrong, holy man. All we want is to get our bodies normal again. See, we don't lie about what's possible. We didn't start a cult.”
“Save your breath. The laws of alchemy don't justify murder!”
“Water, 35 litres. Carbon, 20 kg. Ammonia, 4 litres. Lime, 1.5 kg. Phosphorus, 800 g. Salt, 250 g. Niter, 100 g. Sulphur, 80 g. Fluoride, 7.5 g. Iron, 5 g. Silicon, 3g. And fifteen other elements. Those are the elements to make an average adult human body. You can buy these elemental ingredients at the market with the pocket money of a child. Humans are made so cheaply.”
