(“You should never avert your eyes from death. Never forget the people you’ve killed. Trust me. No matter how much time passes, they will never forget the ones who killed them.”)

(“No matter how difficult things get, no matter how foolish you look struggling under the weight of your burdens, you have to keep living… for the people you love.”)

(“The Homunculi may have started the war, but we were the ones that carried it out. The colonel, myself… and undoubtedly Commodore Hughes must have felt the same way. We don’t have the right to choose when to end our own lives. That’s why, at the very least, we want the next generation to be able to laugh and live a happy existence.”)
