King Bradley — memorable quote from Fullmetal Alchemist

“If the ways of this world are based on equivalent exchange, as alchemy says, then in order to allow for a new generation to enjoy good fortune, the price that we must pay, is to carry the bodies of the dead across a river of blood.”

“Love for the dead is pointless. We fight to keep them alive, that is all.”

“The smell of blood, gunpowder and iron. This is what humanity's all about. Well then, the man in charge must always lead from the front. And yet be the last one to die.”

“A warrior would rather die, than survive defeat.”

“I'd had fifteen years to think about him. And I realized that it wasn't a matter of the life or death of flesh. What's important to a warrior is the soul...And where it lies.”
