- "Satanists need to have more faith than Christians, because Christ was seen and felt. Lucifer has never felt the need to be seen, but in everyone’s soul he can be felt."
- "I lived a dangerous life. Stealing cars, I could have been shot. Robbing people, I could have been killed. Nothing in existence holds any terror for me. When I was sentenced to death, it didn’t hold anything for me."
- "For some serial killers, sure. For some it is the very act of killing another human being that is-that-uh-that is sexual to them. It’s a bloodlust, I guess you can say."
- "All the killings are going to be blamed on me."
- "I want the electric chair. They should have shot me on the street. I did it, you know. You guys got me, the Stalker. Hey, I want a gun to play Russian Roulette. I’d rather die than spend the rest of my life in prison. Can you imagine the people caught me, not the police.” Ramirez laughed and then added: “You think I’m crazy, but you don’t know Satan."
- "Of course I did it, you know that I’m a killer. Give me your hun, I’ll take care of myself. You know I’m a killer, so shoot me, I deserve to die. You can see Satan on my arm."
- "Keep the evil thought."
- "Tell Satan you love him."
- "I’m one angry motherfucker. I just hope all those who are deserving will get what’s coming to them. I’ll just leave it at that."
- "In my heart, I can’t believe he would have arrived at that. But if the authorities there have proof., what can we do? I believe the marijuana he’s been smoking put him out of control. There was a break between us. He didn’t want to do what we told him to. It was like this: I’m your father, and I tell you to not use drugs. And you want to keep using them."
- "The sex drive is the most important and powerful behavior in mankind."
- "Normal, ordinary people do not think like a Serial Killer. They have no conception of what is going on in a killer’s mind, how he operates. They don’t read, which is rightfully so. If they have a life to live, they’re not going to spend a lot of time reading up on killers if that’s not in their interest. Certainly, Serial Killers and killers have the advantage in that they use the element of surprise…uh…darkness, and such things as this…"
- "What Satan means to me-Satan is a stabilizing force in my life. It gives me a reason to be; it gives me-an excuse to rationalize. There is a part of me that believes he really does exist. I have my doubts, but we all do, about many things."
- "Everybody has got good and evil in them. I’d like to be 100% evil, but I can’t. I’m too easy-going sometimes. Then again, while anger and hate are two things some people can cope with, I cannot. My anger and hate grow to a level that I cannot live comfortably with it. it causes me headaches and stuff. When I get angry, it’s an extreme form. It is the extreme. There is no inbetween. But there is with good and evil, and I am there."
- "You don't understand me. You are not expected to. You are not capable. I am beyond your experience. I am beyond good and evil. I will be avenged. Lucifer dwells in all of us...I don't believe in the hypocritical, moralistic dogma of this so-called civilized society....You maggots make me sick! Hypocrites one and all...I don't need to hear all of society's rationalizations. I've heard them all before...legions of the night, night breed, repeat not the errors of the night prowler and show no mercy."
- "That day I went back to that apartment, it was like some kind of mystical experience. It was all quiet and still and hot in there. You could smell the dried blood. Particles of dust just seemed to hover in the air. I looked at the place where Jessie had fallen and died, and I got this kind of tingly feeling. …Then my father told me to look in her pocket book for the jewelry my cousin wanted, and I dumped Jessie’s pocketbook on the bed and looked through her things. It gave me the weirdest feeling - I mean, I knew her, and these were her things, and she was dead. Murdered. Gone. And I was touchin’ her things."
- "Big deal. Death comes with the territory. See you in Disneyland."
- "I love to kill people. I love to watch them die. I would shoot them in the head and they would wiggle and squirm all over the place, and then just stop. Or I would cut them with a knife and watch their faces turn real white. I love all that blood."
- "Even psychopaths have emotions. Then again, maybe not."
- "Serial killers do, on a small scale, what governments do on a large one. They are products of our times and these are bloodthirsty times."
- "Killing is killing whether done for duty, profit,or fun."
- "I gave up love and happiness a long time ago."
- "There's blood behind the Night Stalker."
- "One time I told this lady to give me all her money, she said no. So I cut her and pulled her eyes out. I would do someone in and then take a camera and set the timer so I could sit them up next to me and take our picture together."
- "I believe in Satan. I believe evil is a force that is beyond us, and that we just have to invite him in."
- "Normal, ordinary people do not think like a Serial Killer. They have no conception of what is going on in a killer’s mind, how he operates."
- "Evil has always existed, the perfect world most people seek shall never come to pass and it’s gonna get worse."
- "It’s nothing you’d understand, but I do have something to say. In fact, I have a lot to say, but now is not the time or place. I don’t know why I’m wasting my time or breath. But what the hell? As for what is said of my life, there have been lies in the past and there will be lies in the future. I don’t believe in the hypocritical, moralistic dogma of this so-called civilized society. I need not look beyond this room to see all the liars, hater, the killers, the crooks, the paranoid cowards—truly trematodes of the Earth, each one in his own legal profession. You maggots make me sick— hypocrites one and all. And no one knows that better than those who kill for policy, clandestinely or openly, as do the governments of the world, which kill in the name of God and country or for whatever reason the deem appropriate. I don’t need to hear all of society’s rationalizations, I’ve heard them all before and the fact remains that what is, is. You don’t understand me. You are not expected to. You are not capable of it. I am beyond your experience. I am beyond good and evil, Legions of the night—night breed—repeat not the errors of the Night Prowler and show no mercy. I will be avenged. Lucifer dwells within us all. That’s it."
- "Going to the trial was very tiring for me, but I did enjoyed it better than sitting in a jail cell. That could be very monotonous. Did I enjoy it? Hmm. No, not particularly. I would have rather been on the beach or something."
