There's no such thing as being cowardly in a fight. ~Edward Elric

A lesson without pain is meaningless. For you cannot gain something without sacrificing something in return.

A king is no king without his people, but a people without their king would be lost as well.

Humankind cannot gain something without first giving something in return. To obtain, something of equal value must be lost. This is Alchemy's First Law of Equivalent Exchange. In those days, we really believed that to be the world's one, and only, truth.

Stand up and walk. Move on. After all, you have perfect legs to stand on.

Truth is stranger than fiction," as the old saying goes. When I watch a documentary, I can't help crying and then I think to myself, "Fiction can't compete with this." But when I mentioned this to a veteran manga artist friend of mine he said that "fiction brings salvation to characters in stories that would otherwise have no salvation at all." His words strengthened the conviction of my manga spirit.

If there's no door, then I'll make one!
