Me, me!
My favorite characters are the Elric brothers, definitely and undeniably. I used to prefer Ed, but over time I've come to respect and like Al more and more. Mustang is a close second to them, though. As for Homunculi...in the first anime, definitely Lust. In Brotherhood...I'd actually say Envy. He's so creepy and cruel, making a fascinating villain.
Favorite quotes from the first anime (a fansub that I actually like the wording of better than the official translation):
"Even in pain, you can sleep. But if you inflict pain, you can never sleep."
- Scar's Master
"Our names are given to us by God. However, because I have turned against God, I no longer have a name."
- Scar
From the manga:
"I'm called many names - 'human weapon,' 'monster'...but it's only when I'm fighting a real monster...that I feel truly human."
- Roy Mustang
"All we have to do now is believe in our brother."
- Alphonse Elric
"I really want to see you smiling."
- Edward Elric
I also really like, from the dub of the first one:
"My leg...my arms...my heart...I'll give them to you, whatever you want. Just give him back.
HE'S MY BROTHER!!!!!!"
- Edward Elric
"But the Elric brothers...they live only for each other.... Seeing their...love for each other...it made me want to say those words myself. 'Brother...I love you.'"
- Scar
"I have to try...for you, Al."
- Edward Elric
I don't really know Brotherhood well enough yet to have favorite quotes (only watched it through once).
You can find out things about the past that you never knew. And from what you've learned, you may see some things differently in the present. You're the one that changes. Not the past.
- Ellone, Final Fantasy VIII
"There's a difference between maliciously offending somebody - on purpose - and somebody being offended by...truth. If you're offended by the
truth, that's your problem. I have no obligation to not offend you if I'm speaking the truth. The truth is
supposed to offend you; that's how you know you don't got it."
- Brad Stine
