You still care for your brother, for your old life. Stefan, Salvatore: I don't care about anything anymore. Klaus: You put on a good show, Stefan. I almost believe you.

![]() | Season 2 / Episode 21: - The Sun Also Rises Matt Donovan: [to Caroline] I get it, this is your life now. But you know what my life is, Car?

![]() | Season 2 / Episode 21: - The Sun Also Rises John Gilbert: [John's final letter to Elena] Elena, it's no easy task being an ordinary parent to an extraordinary child. I've failed in that task, and because of my prejudices, I've failed you. I'm haunted by how things might've played out differently if I'd been more willing to hear your side of things. For me, it's the end. For you, a chance to grow old and someday do better with your own child than I did with mine. It's for that child that I give you my ring. I don't ask for your forgiveness, or for you to forget. I ask only that you believe this; whether you are now reading this as a vampire or as a human, I love you all the same as I've always loved you, and always will. |

![]() | Season 2 / Episode 18: - The Last Dance Damon Salvatore: You need to listen to me and prepare for what I'm about to say. Bonnie had to die. Klaus using Alaric's body was a total surprise.

![]() | Season 2 / Episode 18: - The Last Dance Elena Gilbert: Let's get one thing straight Damon. Bonnie will not die for me, I will not let that happen.

![]() | Season 2 / Episode 18: - The Last Dance Damon Salvatore: Let me be clear about something. If it comes down to you and the witch again, I will gladly let Bonnie die. I will always choose you. |
![]() | Season 2 / Episode 12: - The Descent Damon Salvatore: I'm lost. I have a secret, a big one. But I've never said it out loud. What's the point? It's not gonna change anything. It's not gonna make me good, make me adopt a puppy. I can't be what other people want me to be. What she wants me to be. This is who I am. You are my existential crisis. Do I kill you or do I not kill you? But I have to Jessica, because I'm not human. And I miss it. I miss it more than anything in the world. That is my secret. But there is only so much hurt a man can take. |
