Fullmetal Alchemist Quotes

"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 values of some things can't be measured on a simple scale."-Edward Elric, FullMetal Alchemist

"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."-Edward Elric, FullMetal Alchemist

"If you pray and polish the altar enough times, someone who's dead will be brought back to life?"-Edward Elric, FullMetal Alchemist

"Even though science has given us the entire physical breakdown, there's never been a successful attempts at bringing a human to life. There's still something missing... something scientists haven't been able to find in centuries of research."-Edward Elric, FullMetal Alchemist

Ed: "Get back here!"
Al: "What are you gonna do?"
Ed: "Nothing."
Al: "Then why are you chasing me?"
Ed: "Stop and you'll find out!"
===
Ed: "So, if you pray and polish the altar enough times, someone who's dead will be brought back to life?"
Rose: "Something like that."
===
Ed: "Water: 35 liters, carbon: 20 kilograms, ammonia: 4 liters, lime: 1.5 five kilograms, phosphorus: 800 grams, salt: 250 grams, salpeter: 100 grams, sulphur: 80 grams, fluorine: 7.5, iron: 5, silicon: 3 grams... and trace amounts of fifteen other elements."
Rose: "What's that?"
Ed: "It's all the ingredients of all the adult human body, down to the last specks of protein in your eyelashes. And even though science has given us the entire physical breakdown, there's never been a successful attempts at bringing a human to life. There's still something missing... something scientists haven't been able to find in centuries of research. So what makes you think that hack-job priest with his parlor tricks is gonna be able to? And in case you're wondering, all those ingredients can be bought on a child's allowance. Humans can be built on the cheap. There's no magic to it."
===
Ed: "If I were you, I'd drop the scriptures and pick up an alchemy book. We're the closest things to gods there are."
Rose: "You're not a god. You're nothing close to it."
Ed: "And neither is the sun. It's just a mass of hydrogen. Get close to it like Cornello claims, and all you'll do is burn up."
