Elena Gilbert quotes from The Vampire Diaries

Stefan

How was the slumber party?

Elena

Fine. Good. Well-needed. When can me and you have one?

Elena

He described you as a monster.

Stefan

That's what I was.

Elena

It sounds like you were like Damon.

Stefan

I was worse.

Elena

What is she doing here?

Damon

When we killed Elijah, it broke the compulsion and freed the bitch from the tomb.

Elena

I don't really need your help and I don't want it.

Katherine

That's incredibly stupid of you,Elena. You know that?

Elena

(After drinking, Elena saw Damon entering the house) What did you do with her?

Damon

(To Stefan) Will you please calm her down?

Elena

Don't talk like I'm standing right in front of you-

Damon

Will you please calm down?

Elena

You knew! You knew that she harnessed all that power! That she would die didn't you?

Damon

Yes.... Yes, I know!

Elijah

Klaus and I faked the Sun and Moon curse dating back over a thousand years.

Elena

(prompting) But if there's no curse...

Elijah

There's a curse. Just not that one. The real one's much worse. It's a curse placed on Klaus.

Elena

What are you talking about?

Elijah

Klaus has been trying to break it for the last thousand years.

Jenna

When I was little, you mom used to tell me bedtime stories. Stories about vampires. I never thought that what she said could be true.

Elena

It is true, Jenna. I should have told you. I thought that if you didn't know, you'd be safe. But then things got so out of control and everything I had done to keep you out of it, it just blew up in my face.

Damon

What if it doesn't work, Elena?

Elena

Then I guess I'll just be dead.

Elena

(about Damon and her part in the sacrifice) You'd think he'd understand why I'm willing to do this.

Elijah

Why are you?

Elena

I'm the key to breaking the curse. Klaus is here because of me. If I don't stop him, then he's going to hurt people. It's that simple.

Elijah

You know, there's a possibility this elixir won't work. I don't want to mislead you.

Elena

I know the chance I'm taking.

Damon

You're going to die, Elena.

Elena

And then I'll come back to life.

Damon

That is not a risk I am willing to take.

Elena

But I am. It's my life, Damon. My choice.

Damon

...I can't lose you.

Elena

You won't.

Elena

We are climbing all the way up to the top?

Stefan

Oh yeah.

Elena

Well can’t you do one of super power vampire jumpy things.

Stefan

No, it’s your last day as a human, why cheat now?

Stefan

Look, I know this isn’t the first time you've thought about it, drinking vampire blood to survive, and I know I've thought about it a hundred times.

Elena

And before all this with Klaus? Do you think about it then?

Stefan

Of course I did. Look, if it were my choice, I would want to be with you forever.

Elena

Why have you never brought it up?

Stefan

Because I knew if it was an option you would have. It’s selfish for me to ask you.

Elena

Didn’t stop Damon.

Stefan

He shouldn’t of done what he did. He did it because he loves you.

Elena

But he did this to me, Stefan. Which means he doesn’t really know what love is and, to be honest, I don’t know if I do. I’m seventeen years old. How do I know any of this yet? I know that I love you, Stefan. I know that but my future, our lives together, those were things I was supposed to do as they came along. I was supposed to grow up, decide if I wanna have kids and start a family, grow old, and I was supposed to have a lifetime of those choices. Now that’s all gone.

Stefan

It’s okay to say it. Please.

Elena

(sobbing) I don’t want to be a vampire, Stefan. I never wanted to be one.

Elena

What's the best part about being a vampire?

Stefan

You feel like you could do anything. Be anyone. Beautiful things are more beautiful. Everything's heightened, you just live more intensely, love more powerfully.

Elena

Greta, witches are supposed to maintain the balance of nature. It's your duty to them, to keep this curse sealed.

My duty is to Klaus. The new order.

Klaus

Glad to know I still have a dance partner.
