“No matter how much despair awaits them, I wish that at the end of their story, the gentle light of hope will shine on them...”
“There are times we can't run away, no matter how bad the odds are. When the people we're supposed to protect are threatened, we have to enter the fray and shield them. And it doesn't matter who or what the enemy is. We need to master skills and get stronger, with artillery as well as hand-do-hand combat. I think that's our responsibility as strong soldiers.”
“I think there are times people have to die... even if I don't like it.”
“There's no such thing as a painless lesson, they just don't exist. Sacrifices are necessary, you can't gain something without losing something first... Although if you can endure that pain and walk away from it, you'll find that you now have a heart strong enough to overcome any obstacle... Yeah... A Fullmetal Heart.”
“No matter the reason, I don't think anyone who loses consciousness in the battlefield has any right to survive!”
“Ever since I joined the survey corps, I've had people dying on me everyday. But... you understand, don't you? One day or another, everyone you care about eventually dies. It's something we simply can't accept. It's a realization that could drive you insane... It's painful... so painful... I get it. And still... we must keep moving forward.”
“The many lives lost during long years of conflict... because of those selfless sacrifices, we are able to bathe in peace and prosperity now. To ingrain this history within the new generation will be a vital cog in helping to maintain the peace.”
“If you hurt me, then so be it. Do you think that there is any human in all the world who has never hurt another? You are all so kind...It hurts you to hurt others. That is why I had been hiding my pain, as well.”
“Just because you want other people to think of you as someone who'd literally die for another... dragging someone else to his death just for that... only a bad girl would do that, right?”
“Tell me, if you have something more important than your life, and you have to give up your life to protect that, what would you do? In that case, isn't there only one answer? Give up your life.”
“Even if all we accomplished were small steps forward... We continued to give our lives if it meant that one day... humanity would be free from this terror.”
“Remember that a sword held by someone who is about to die… will never be able to protect anything.”
“Let those who seek death find it.”
“There are only so many lives I can value. And...I decided who those people were six years ago. So...You shouldn't try to ask for my pity. Because right now, I don't have...Time to spare or room in my heart.”
“Kill me. Make it quick. I no longer have the strength left in me to even walk. If you do not cut me down now, then this will go unsettled for eternity.”
“I want to survive...And see her again. As a person, I'm really lower than shit...But she knows that, and she smiles kindly at me anyway.”
“Okay. I will protect all of you. I will never let another friend die.”
“You asked me if I was ready to carry on. In all honesty, I am not sure of myself. But there is something that must be done now. And I will do it.”
“I understand the pain of losing a comrade. I've experienced it, too. Please do not forget the pain. You will move forward while holding on to that pain. Please treasure the comrades you have now. Once they are gone, they will not return. Usually, you don't realize this until afterwards.”
“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.”
