Author of quotes: Richard Ramirez

When I was still on the loose, my friend and I drove across the bridge to San Rafael and he said to me: “Oh, look, your future prison - house San Quentin”. This son of a bitch, hike, jinxed me.

You know that line from the Bible... well, about the Horsemen of the Apocalypse? "And I saw a rider on a pale horse, and he said unto me - go and look! And Hell followed with him." Now, gentlemen of the jury... Hell not followed him - Hell was running away from me!

Life is just a joke, and I like to make fun of something that people take ***be as serious.

Killing with a knife is very intimate: you're holding it at the time, as it enters the flesh, and through it feel the fading life of his victim. It's just like sex.

As for what was said about my life before that was just a lie and in the future will only lie. I don't believe moralistic hypocritical dogma of this so-called civilized society.

I love to kill people. I like to watch them die. I shot them in the head and watched as they squirm and writhe on the ground, and then suddenly go silent... Or cut them with a knife and watched as their faces become completely white. I like all this blood. Once I told one lady to give me all her money. She refused. - Well, I stabbed her and tore the eyes.

Serial killers have no conscience. No morals, no doubts, no regrets. I was leading a dangerous lifestyle. I could shoot when I was a car thief. To kill when I robbed people. Nothing scares me. When I was sentenced to death, for me it meant nothing.

When I was free, my friend and I drove across the bridge to San Rafael. And he said, "Look, here is your future home - San Quentin." Apparently, the bastard cursed me.

Some serial killers will allow you to live, if you talk to them, find a way to reach them or if they get to know you. Some of them may take pity on you, others do not. This applies not only to serial killers, but all killers in General. Some are just obsessed with the mania to kill and they will do it regardless of the circumstances or situation. They've made their decision even before he met you... And in this case you are doomed. The victim, he or she is at a disadvantage because he did not know how the mind of a killer or what he's thinking.

I am convinced that evil is inherent in human nature. We live in a cruel, cruel world, and cruel world are born violent men.

What a person believes is his own business. Neither the Church nor anyone else has no right to tell you how to think and how to live. That's the essence of freedom: to be who you really are, not who you need to be.

A serial killer is the result of circumstances. And there he seemed the perfect recipe: poverty, drugs, violence... you know, all those things that contribute to the formation of personality and entail anger and frustration. And then at some point in life it just explodes.

Serial killers do on a small scale what governments do - in large. They are a product of our time. Bloodthirsty time.

When I die, I want to be buried wearing sunglasses and with his hands kept behind his head. So when my body rots, I'll be the coolest skeleton in the graveyard.
