"You said she's smart, but it only means …" — Near Quote

"Let's show him...that the good guys always win."

— L Lawliet · Death Note

"I've won. Exactly as planned."

— Light Yagami · Death Note

"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 prison, I don't know when you'll die. It's annoying to wait. Your life is already over. You'll die here."

— Ryuk · Death Note

"Oh, I almost forgot. In the event that anyone besides big-headed Near or the deluded murderer is reading these notes, then I should at least perform the basic courtesy of introducing myself, here at the end of the prologue. I am your narrator, your navigator, your storyteller. For anyone else but those two, my identity may be of no interest, but I am the old world's runner-up, the best dresser that died like a dog, Mihael Keehl. I once called myself Mello and was addressed by that name, but that was a long time ago."

"I love chocolates."

"Sorry, but...believe it or not, I'm a male too."
