A lesson without pain is meaningless. For you cannot gain anything without sacrificing something else in return, but once you have overcome it and made it your own...you will gain an irreplaceable fullmetal heart.
Hiromu ArakawaEven when our eyes are closed, there's a whole world that exists outside ourselves and our dreams.
Hiromu ArakawaAnd now, I'm thinking again, isn't there something we can do about something we can't do anything about?
Hiromu ArakawaThere's no such thing as a painless lesson. They just don't exist. Sacrifices are necessary. You can't gain anything 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 heart made fullmetal.

The one who wanted her baby back lost chance of having one again, And the one who had a vision to see his country change became blind.
