All Death Note quotes

Light Yagami

I am the God placed here to save the weak and create a perfect world.

Near

I don't know what to say. Now, I think it's just best to observe closely.

L Lawliet

Why are you staring at me? Are you annoyed that I am the only one who has cake?

L Lawliet

I have two rules: First, I'm never wrong. Second, if I'm wrong... back to the first rule.

L Lawliet

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

I feel like I'm watching a sitcom.

Near

I've wanted to make him taste his own pathetic failure with all my heart.

Light Yagami

In this world, there are very few people who actually trust each other.

Light Yagami

This world is rotten and those who are making it rot deserve to die. Someone has to do it, so why not me? Even if it means sacrificing my own mind and soul, it's worth it. Because the world... can't go on like this. I wonder... what if someone else had picked up this notebook? Is there anyone out there other than me who'd be willing to eliminate the vermin from the world? If I don't do it, then who will? That's just it: there's no one, but I can do it. In fact, I'm the only one who can. I'll do it. Using the death note, I'll change the world.

Light Yagami

This world is still rotten!.. With too many rotten people.

Mello

It's time I started living my own life.

Light Yagami

No matter what the world, the god of that world creates the rules. In truth, you have been defeated by the rules I created. And as punishment for defying the God of the new world, you will die...
