Quotes

Damon We both knew that elixir wouldn't have worked anyway.
Elijah (To Damon about Elena): "The problem, Damon. You talk a good game, but you don't actually know anything. She'll never forgive you. And 'never' for a vampire? It's a very long time."
Elena (To Stefan): "I'll never be able to watch 'Bambi' again."
Stefan (To Elena): "If it was my choice I'd want to be with you forever."
Elena (To Stefan): "I was supposed to grow up. Decide if I want to have kids and start a family. Grow old. I was supposed to have a lifetime of those choices, and now it's all gone. I don't want to be a vampire, Stefan. I never wanted to be one."
Klaus (To Damon): "I've heard about you. The crazy, impulsive vampire in love with his brother's girl. I knew one of you would try to stop me. It was just a 50-50 guess on who."
Damon: "Elijah's an original vampire, Stefan. One we tried to kill. You don't believe this guy."
Stefan: "What do you want me to do, Damon? Elena made her decision. She's choosing to trust Elijah. I'm going to put my faith in her."
Damon: "Why? She's just going to end up dead."
Stefan: "Because she put her faith in me. She chose to trust me in spite of what I am. If I'm going to bet on someone instincts, it's going to be hers."
Damon: "Then that makes you the biggest idiot of them all."
Stefan: "She chose to trust you, too."
Damon: "Maybe you shouldn't be so sure about her instincts."
Greta (about Jenna): "She's not dead... she's in transition."
Damon: "Any reason you stopped by to say hi?"
Klaus : "I'm told you and your brother fancy my doppelgänger. Just thought I'd remind you not to do anything you'll regret."
