"I tried to carry on, while rejecting any relationships with others, but once you reject people, you're stuck. You lose the opportunity to meet someone and change." — Mei Tachibana
"The frog in the well can't communicate with the ocean creatures, as it knows the depth of the sky. It's because the frog lived inside a cramped and small space, so he knows better than anyone, how precious freedom is." — Akito Wanijima
"I wanted to know why was the world so twisted? Where did this twistedness come from? How can people be so wicked without needing to be? And why don't they realize their wickedness? Why are there things that bring chaos to so many lives? Why do people rule and let themselves be ruled? And why do they hurt each other? And why despite all that do people still want to live their lives? I was just looking for answers. I thought that if I met with you, you'd give me those answers... because you're looking for the same thing along a different path from mine - from the path where people can understand each other. " — Setsuna F. Seiei
"As a human, what kind of achievements will you leave behind? I bet you'll leave behind a legacy as a psychotic killer, and that thrills me!" — Izaya Orihara
"I consider everything that happened to be precious moments of my life. The pain. The suffering. The fun… And I am here right now, because everyone was there for me. I couldn't have accomplished anything by standing still, without anybody's help. I treasure every moment I have spent here. Unlucky? I feel pretty lucky. This is my resolve." — Tsunayoshi Sawada
"No single thing is perfect by itself. That's why we're born to attract other things to make up for what we lack. I think we start walking in the right direction only after we start getting our counterparts beside us." — Itachi Uchiha
"Love is never without trials and tribulations--precisely because of that, there's bitterness. What do you think? The feelings from liking someone... cannot be satisfied by your own efforts alone. It's not the same as simple anger or sadness. One-sidedly declaring your feelings... this doesn't bring satisfaction. Only when the other person feels the same way... Only when two hearts love each other is fulfillment achieved." — Kamiya Kyousuke
