Hiromu ArakawaGreed (as Ling): You humans always get all "holier-than-thou" when it comes to this stuff... I really don't get you. Edward: It's called having integrity. You should try it sometime
Hiromu ArakawaA lesson without pain is meaningless. For you cannot gain something without sacrificing something in return.
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.
