Elena: “There’s more to me than just gloomy grave yard girl.”
Elena: “I want so much to make things right but every instinct in my body is telling me to be careful. What you don’t know can hurt you.”

Kai : “You win some, you lose some. Except for me. I always win.”
Alaric: “Look, my life is full of the martyrs who cave to the bad guy, trying to be heroes, and it never ends well. Somebody inevitably gets hurt–or dead–and that somebody could just as easily be you, or Bonnie, regardless of what you do.”
Bonnie : “Coming back to life is complicated. Trust me, I’ve done it before.”
Valerie : “Dear Diary, I’m in Hell. It’s hard to imagine a place worse than where I’ve come from but by some spectacular miracle, I’ve found it. In the weeks since I’ve arrived, three things are clear. The food is literally made of poison, the air smells like a plague, and everyone wants to know what everyone else is doing. I don’t fit in here. The world is not what I imagined.”
Valerie : “It’s funny how one event can change the outcome of your entire life.”

Stefan: “The real animal is still out there. Waiting for me, challenging me to fight back to stop him. But how do I stop the monster without becoming one myself?”
Damon : “ I’ve been in love. It’s painful, pointless, and overrated.”
Damon : “Vampires can’t procreate. But we love to try.”
Damon : “I like being a living dead person.”
Stefan: “The pleasure I’ll get of watching you suffer is greater than any pain I’ll ever feel.”
Damon : “Humanity’s not all it’s cracked up to be.”
Elena : “It’s okay. We met and we talked and it was epic, but then the sun came up and reality set in.”
Stefan: “ We choose our own path. Our values and our actions, they define who we are.”
Elena : “You’re going to think that the pain will never end, but it will. But first, you have to let it all in. You can’t fight it. It’s bigger than you. You have to let yourself drown in it. But then eventually you’ll start to swim and every single breath that you fight for will make you stronger. And I promise that you will beat it.”
