"I will become the god of this world."

-- Yagami Light

"Apples in the human world are worth the trip. What's the best way to describe these ... juicy."

-- Ryuk

"I can understand them, because they can exchange that money for tons of apples."

-- Ryuk (during the clean-up)

"I just can't sit any other way than this. If I sit the way other people do, my reasoning ability drops by 40%."

-- Lawliet / Ryuuzaki

"There is no reason for me to question. God is absolute. My job is to do as God wishes."

-- Teru Mikami

"Let's just say this: you will feel the fear and pain known only to humans who've used the notebook. And when it's your time to die, it will fall on me to write your name in my death note. Be warned any human who's used a death note can neither go to heaven nor hell for eternity. That's all." * laughs *

-- Ryuk to Light

"As a rule they say humans haunted by a Shinigami have nothing but misfortune."

-- Ryuk

"I didn't choose you. Don't you see this is all just an accident? You actually thought you were chosen because you're so smart or something? Don't be so vain. It just happen to fall around here and you just happen to pick it up, and that's all there is to it."

"If we catch Kira, he is evil. If he wins and rules the world, then he is justice."

-- Light Yagami

"I'm going to make the world know I'm here ... that somebody is passing righteous judgment on them."

-- Light Yagami

"I hate evil and love justice. I do not consider the police as my enemies, but my allies against evil."

-- Misa Amane

"It's not a sense of justice. Figuring out difficult cases is my hobby. If you measured good and evil deeds by current laws, I would be responsible for many crimes. The same way you all like to solve mysteries and riddles, or clear video games more quickly. For me too, its simply prolonging something I enjoy doing. That's why I only take on cases that pique my interest. It's not justice at all. And if it means being able to clear a case, I don't play fair, I'm a dishonest, cheating human being who hates losing."

-- Lawliet (manga)

"Under normal circumstances, humans should have continued to evolve as the greatest creatures upon this earth, but we were actually regressing. A rotten world. Politics, law, education... Was there anybody around who could correct this world? But someone had to do it."

-- Light Yagami

+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +

"You can't ever win if you're always on the defensive. To win, you have to attack."

-- Yagami Light

"He who moves first always wins."

-- Lawliet

"It's not just the notebook I'm after. I wanna eliminate my competition. I will be the best. I don't care what it takes. I'll beat Near by any means necessary."

-- Mello

"If you can't win the game, if you can't solve the puzzle, you're nothing but a loser."

-- Near

"There are ... many types of monsters in this world: Monsters who will not show themselves and who cause trouble; monsters who abduct children; monsters who devour dreams; monsters who suck blood, and... monsters who always tell lies. Lying monsters are a real nuisance. They are much more cunning than other monsters. They pose as humans even though they have no understanding of the human heart. They eat even though they've never experienced hunger. They study even though they have no interest in academics. They seek friendship even though they do not know how to love. If I were to encounter such a monster, I would likely be eaten by it. Because in truth, I am that monster."

-- L Lawliet

"Risking your life and doing something that could rob you of your life are exact opposites."

-- L Lawliet

"The thing I hate the most is to trample on other people's good will."

-- Yagami Light

"Nobody can tell what is right and what is wrong; what is righteous and what is evil. Even if there is a god and I had his teachings right before me, I would think it through and decide if that was right or wrong myself."

-- Near

"The real evil is the power to kill people."

-- Souichiro Yagami

+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +

"I understood that killing people was a crime. There was no other way! The world had to be fixed! A purpose given to me! Only I could do it. Who else could have done it, and come this far? Would they have kept going? The only one... who can create a new world... is me."

-- Yagami Light

"No ... anything obtained by killing people can never bring true happiness."

-- Soichiro Yagami

"No. You're just a murderer, Light Yagami. And this notebook is the deadliest weapon in the history of mankind. You yielded to the power of the Shinigami and the notebook and you have confused yourself with a god. In the end, you're nothing more than a crazy mass murderer. That's all you are. Nothing more, and nothing else.

-- Near

"You have lost, Light. Didn't I say in the beginning ... when you die, the one who'll write your name down in a notebook will be me. That is ... the deal between the Shinigami ... and the first human to get their hands on the note in the human world. Once you enter the prison, I don't know when you'll die. It's annoying to wait ... Your life is already over. You'll die here. Well, it was good while it lasted ... We killed some boredom, didn't we? We did some various and interesting things..."

-- Ryuk
