I'm not seeking penance for what I've done, Father. I'm asking forgiveness... For what I'm about to do.
~ Matthew Murdock
When I was a kid, before the accident... I'd lay awake at nights listening to the sirens. I liked to put stories to them. Trying to figure out what they were for, ambulance or cops, robbery or fire. I don't know, just a stupid game. But after I lost my sight, after my abilities developed, I realized how many sirens there actually were... How much this city suffered every single night.
~ Matthew Murdock
I’m Daredevil. Not even God can stop that now.
~ Matthew Murdock
I'm a really good lawyer
~ Matthew Murdock to Spider-Man
Your boy, he pushed me out of the way. He saved my life.
~ An old man telling Matt's father how Matt saved his life
Dad. I-I-I can’t see. I can’t see. I can’t see. I can’t see! I can’t see! I can’t see!
~ Matthew Murdock losing his sight

You were right, what you told me over the radio that night... not everyone deserves a happy ending.
~ Daredevil to Kingpin

Frank Castle: Sometimes I think you might really be the devil.

Daredevil: Sometimes I think I might be too.

~ Daredevil and the Punisher
My ass remains unwhooped
~ Daredevil

No, no, I'm not trying to be a hero. I'm just a guy that got fed up with men like you and I decided to do something about it.
~ Daredevil to Kingpin
You will go back to prison, and you will live the rest of your miserable life in a cage, knowing you'll never have Vanessa, that this city rejected you. IT BEAT YOU! I BEAT YOU!
~ Daredevil to Kingpin
