“Life is a journey. Imagine playing an RPG game with you as the main character. You will have a journey, gain experiences and levels, make choices, meet companions, fight bosses. The differences are no saving points, no FAQs, no turning back and the journey is once in a life time. Therefore everyday will be an adventure for me.” (Me)

“Humankind cannot gain anything without first giving something in return. To obtain, something of equal value must be lost. That is Alchemy’s First Law of Equivalent Exchange. In those days, we really believed that to be the world’s one, and only, truth. But the world isn’t perfect, and the law is incomplete. Equivalent Exchange doesn’t encompass everything that goes on here, but I still choose to believe in its principle: that all things do come at a price, that there’s an ebb and a flow, a cycle, that the pain we went through did have a reward, and that anyone who’s determined and perseveres will get something of value in return, even if it’s not what they expected. I don’t think of Equivalent Exchange as a law of the world any more. I think of it as a promise between my brother and me. A promise that someday we’ll see each other again.”
(Alphonse Elric – Full Metal Alchemist)

“The art of losing isn’t hard to master; so many things seem… f… filled… with the intent to be lost that their loss is no disaster. Lose something every day. Accept the fluster of lost door keys, the hour badly spent. The art of losing isn’t hard to master. I lost two cities, lovely ones. And, vaster, some realms I owned, two rivers, a continent. I miss them, but it wasn’t a disaster. Even losing you… the joking voice, a gesture I love… I shan’t have lied. It’s evident the art of losing’s not.too hard to master though’it may look like… Write it!… like disaster.” (Maggie Feller – In Her Shoes 2005)
