Daredevil is a fictitious hero helming from the American comic book series publishing house Marvel Comics.
The character was created by writer Stan Lee and artist Bill Everett. It first appeared in the comic book ‘Daredevil #1’ published in April 1964.
Matt Murdock grew up in the crime-ridden part of New York City, known as Hell’s Kitchen. While saving a man from getting hit by a vehicle, Matt got blinded by a radioactive substance that left him with heightened senses known as ‘radar sense’. Thus Matt took on the alias of Daredevil with which he fought the evil criminals at night while tackling crime as a lawyer in the day. Some of the memorable supporting characters are Matt’s best friend Franklin Foggy Nelson, his love interest Elektra, and Punisher, who both serve as a reluctant ally and antagonist of Daredevil. Some people argue that Punisher is better than Daredevil, but it’s a never-ending argument as we have supporters of both the characters equally fighting for the claim to the top. Here are a few Daredevil quotes that all his fans are going to enjoy. You could also check out Daredevil Punisher quotes and Daredevil Season 2 quotes.

- “Look into your own eyes and tell me you are not heroic, that you have not endured, or suffered… or lost the things you care about most. And yet, here you are… a survivor of Hell’s Kitchen… the hottest place anyone’s ever known. A place where cowards don’t last long. So… you must be a hero. We all are. Some more than others, but none of us alone. Some bloody their fists trying to keep the Kitchen safe. Others bloody the streets in the hope they can stop the tide, the crime, the cruelty… the disregard for human life all around them. But this is Hell’s Kitchen. Angel or Devil, rich or poor, young or old, you live here. You didn’t choose this town. It chose you. Because a hero isn’t someone who lives above us, keeping us safe. A hero’s not a God or an idea. A hero lives here on the street, among us, with us. Always here, but rarely recognized. Look in the mirror and see yourself for what you truly are. You’re a New Yorker. You are a hero. This is your Hell’s Kitchen. Welcome home.”

- “ I’m not a religious man, but I’ve read bits and pieces over the years. Curiosity more than faith. But this one story… There was a man, he was traveling from Jerusalem to Jericho when he was set upon by men of ill intent. They stripped the traveler of his clothes, they beat him, and they left him bleeding in the dirt. And a priest happened by, saw the traveler, but he moved to the other side of the road and continued on. And a Levite, a religious functionary, he came to the place, saw the dying traveler, but he, too, moved to the other side of the road, passed him by. But then came a man from Samaria, a Samaritan, a good man. He saw the traveler bleeding in the road and he stopped to aid him without thinking of the circumstance or the difficulty it might bring him. The Samaritan tended to the traveler’s wounds, applying oil and wine, and he carried him to an inn, gave him all the money he had for the owner to take care of the traveler, as the Samaritan, he continued on his journey. He did this simply because the traveler was his neighbor. He loved his city and all the people in it. I always thought that I was the Samaritan in that story. It’s funny, isn’t it? How even the best of men can be deceived by their true nature.”

— Matt Murdock, Marvel’s Daredevil, Season 1: World On Fire
- “Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, forgive me if I seem distracted. I’ve been preoccupied of late with, uh, questions of morality. Of right and wrong, good and evil. Sometimes the delineation between the two is a sharp line. Sometimes it’s a blur, and often it’s like pornography: you just know when you see it. A man is dead. I don’t mean to make light of that, but these questions… these questions are vital ones because they tether us to each other, to humanity. Not everyone feels this way. Not everyone sees the sharp line, only the blur. A man is dead. Um, a man is dead. And my client, John Healy, took his life. This is not in dispute. It is a matter of record, of fact, and facts have no moral judgment. They merely state what is. Not what we think of them, not what we feel. They just are. What was in my client’s heart when he took Mr. Prohaszka’s life, whether he is a good man or something else entirely, is irrelevant. These questions of good and evil, as important as they are, have no place in a court of law. Only the facts matter. My client claims he acted in self-defense. Mr. Prohaszka’s associates have refused to make a statement regarding the incident. The only other witness, a frightened young woman, has stated that my client was pleasant and friendly, and that she only saw the struggle with Mr. Prohaszka after it had started. Those are the facts. Based on these and these alone, the prosecution has failed to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that my client was not acting solely in self-defense. And those, ladies and gentlemen of the jury, are the facts. My client, based purely on the sanctity of the law which we’ve all sworn an oath to uphold, must be acquitted of these charges. Now, beyond that, beyond these walls… he may well face a judgement of his own making. But here, in this courtroom, the judgement is yours and yours alone.”
— Matt Murdock, Marvel’s Daredevil, Season 1: Rabbit in a Snow Storm
- “I’m not seeking penance for what I’ve done, I’m asking forgiveness…for what I’m about to do.”
— Matt Murdock, Marvel’s Daredevil, Season 1: Into the Ring
