He's one of the smoothest, sexiest characters on TV, and he has said a lot in his five seasons of being on the air.
A lot of hilarious jokes, a lot of great dramatic, almost mythical moments, and within that great library of knowledge, a few words to live by have popped out.
These are those words.
“Lately I’ve been thinking. Do you think I’m the Devil because I’m inherently evil, or just because dear ol’ dad decided I was?”
It makes you think about the kind of person you are. Or maybe the kind you've been made out to be.
“You people misunderstand me. You call me “Satan” and “Devil” but… do you know my crime? I loved God too much. And for that he betrayed me — punished me. Just as he’s punished you. After all, how could God stand idly by while that man broke into your home and butchered your family in their beds? There are only two rational answers, Nick — either, he’s sadistic… or he simply doesn’t care.”
“People sometimes kill the people with whom they’re in love. The heart’s mysterious.”
Maybe these aren't the best words to live by. Don't kill anyone that you love, please.
The heart is mysterious though!
“The good news is that whilst all dogs go to Heaven, you’d be surprised how many pigs are waiting for you in Hell.”
Are you telling us to go vegan, Lucy?
“You see, what I hate more than anything is a liar. A charlatan. Someone who doesn’t believe in what they say. ”
Not only does he hate liars, but he also hates bad liars.
"People don’t arrive broken. They start with passion and yearning till something comes along that disabuses them of those notions."
I'm sure there's a lot of broken people who can relate to that.
“The best way to be first is to know it’ll happen beforehand.”
So either you can take this as "try to interpret everything that's going to happen by planning well" or you can take it as he's trying to make you get psychic powers.
“Children are hideous little creatures. Terrible, taxing burdens.”
Well, he's not wrong about the "taxing" part. But some people actually really like kids, controversially. Not all of them are hideous little creatures... just most of them.
"Did you know there's a special section in hell reserved for bullies? So, have fun!"
So if you're being bullied and there's nothing you can do about it, take solace in knowing they'll be in Hell.
“I’m like walking heroin, very habit-forming. It never ends well.”
Oddly enough, this statement could have been about the series. It was definitely habit-forming, that's for sure. No idea about the ending yet.
“Snapping necks and cashing checks is what I do.”
See where he is actually probably snapping necks, he's just telling us to approach life more aggressively. Don't snap anyone's neck irl.
“No one gives us the right… we take it.”
We hope there are limits to this whole "take what you want" outlook on life. You can't just go around taking everything!
“Why do humans think they can rectify one evil with another?”
Wow, who would have thought that the show Lucifer would be making us think about the good we do in the world.
“The most evil of people have the most normal names, I’ve experienced. Beware anyone named Keith.”
Hey, Lucy, you're preaching to the choir here. I've been avoiding Keiths my entire life.
