Alphonse Elric — memorable quote from Fullmetal Alchemist

“Rejection is a part of any man’s life. If you can’t accept and move past rejection, or at least use it as writing material - you’re not a real man.”

“You are too young to worry about failure. In a pinch, just muddle through. The outcome won't change, so that's best.”

“Now listen up, any power that surpasses reason, still comes from reason, right? Magic isn't some kind of miraculous power. It is a talent that only works when the flow of energy inside of us and the flow of energy in the natural world are in perfect synchronization. To perform magic one must have a strong mind and the ability to focus. It should take over your being and come pouring out of your soul! If all we do is worry about following rules, then our magic will never progress.”

“The chains of fear are easily broken with the blade of courage.”

“It's a programmer's job to make the most of limited resources to turn an impractical idea into reality.”
