Riza Hawkeye/Quotes

Manga
"To tell the truth, I don't like the military either. Because at times I am forced to take lives. [I joined the military because] there is someone I need to protect. It was not because I was forced by anyone, but it was my own free will.

It is my own choice to pull the trigger for the person who I must protect, until the day that the person accomplishes his goals...I will pull the trigger without doubt."

- Riza to Winry, Chapter 24: Fullmetal Alchemist

"When will he learn. Its bad enough he is useless on rainy days."
