Mello — memorable quote from Death Note

“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, it's 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.”

“I don't like the terms "good person" or "bad person" because it's impossible to be entirely good to everyone or entirely bad to everyone. To some, you are a good person, while to others, you are a bad person.”

“I'm not a hero because I want your approval. I do it because I want to!”

“It's better to be hurt than to hurt others. Nice people can be happy with just that.”

“I'm always being told that I don't understand other people's feelings, and also that I don't understand what others are thinking. And I agree. But... If you don't try to stem the tears of a girl crying out for help, you're the lowest kind of man.”
