Elena Gilbert quotes from The Vampire Diaries

No last minute attacks of pity for any of them.

Elena

Don't worry about me. Not after what happened to Bonnie's mom.

Barbie?

Oh, Im ready. Anything that will free Tyler of his sire bond to Klaus.

Lost boy?

Matt

Do I have a choice?

Good point.

Elena

You haven't said much since you got home.

Ill be a ball of sunshine once Damon get Alarik's stake back. Promise.

View quote →

Elena

Well, you still need the basics. Toothbrush. Clothes. Some boring books to help you sleep.

Alaric

"Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde"?

Elena

What? No, I grabbed-- (reads book title and sighs) Damon. He thinks he's hilarious.

Alaric

Well, at least one of us has a sense of humor.

Alaric

What's Klaus gonna do if he can't find it?

Elena

It's the only thing that can kill him, so...wage war, murder people...you know, Klaus stuff.

View quote →

So where are we?

The corner of somewhere and nowhere where Kol can't find us.

I can't believe Kol was a vampire.

Well, didn't you find it weird that you made a friend so fast? Have you met you?

Elena

Not helping.

Come on Rose, you're not actually gonna make us wait, are you? I know you're obsessed with me.

Alright, uh, tell me something about her.

Well, she did this little thing with her tongue...

Elena

Something that matters, Damon.

She spent her last day in paradise. Soaking in the sun, reminiscing about what it means to be human. And when death came, she didn't fear it.

Elena

I was with her on her and last and she definitely wasn't in paradise.

It was in the dream he gave her. She's here.

View quote →

Elena

You never told me about that. What you did for Rose.

It wasn't about you.

Elena

Why don't you let people see the good in you?

Because when people see good, they expect good. And I don't want to have to live up to anyone's expectations.

[He takes her hand. Elena, feeling overwhelmed, gets up and leaves the room. She hears him follow her outside.]

Elena

Don't.

Why not? Elena...

[She looks conflicted for a moment before giving in, turning around and kissing him.]

Elena

[to Jeremy] Wait here.

Why, so you guys can make out some more?

Don't be a dick. Listen to your sister.

Elena

Who is this Mary person?

Scary Mary. Really old. Super creepy.

Elena

And how do you know her?

You know...

Elena

Of course.

What? I said creepy. Not ugly.

View quote →

What are you doing?

Elena

What do you mean?

Well, this trip, and you kissing me. What the hell is this?

Elena

Stefan thinks that I have feelings for you.

Do you?

Elena

I don't - I don't - I don't know.

Hmm. I guess you thought this little trip could help you figure that out, didn't you? Or maybe you were hoping I'll screw it up so I could just make the decision for you, am I wrong? Am I wrong?

Elena

It's what you do, Damon! You sabotage things. When I think about it, every time there's a bump in the road, you lash out!

What if I didn't? What if there was no bump? I'm sorry, Elena, but this time I'm not going to make it so easy for you. This time you'll have to figure it out for yourself.

View quote →

[talking about Jeremy being stressed out] Are you sure it had nothing to do with witnessing you and Damon getting hot and heavy in a skeevy motel?

Elena

I didn't tell you that so you could torture me with it.

Ah, what are friends for?

View quote →

So, why don't you ask Stefan [to the dance]?

Elena

I can't ask him on a date. I just made out with his brother.

All the more reason. Look, you're supposed to be figuring out what you want. That's what Stefan wanted you to do, right?

Elena

Yeah, but-

But nothing! I've watched The Bachelor, okay? Fair is fair. It's Stefan's turn.

Elena

Getting out of bed is dangerous these days. But we have to live our lives.

Hmm, who gave you that horrible advice?

Elena

Some guy I use to date said it once or twice

View quote →

We can handle this later, you know.

Elena

No, I rather it over with now before some janitor comes to clean out Alaric's stuff and realizes the history teacher was a vampire slayer.

View quote →

After I bit you I never wanted to feel anything again. But someone kept telling me that it was okay to feel. No matter how much it hurt. That our emotions are what make us human, good or bad. To never lose hope.

Elena

Who gave you that horrible advice?

Some girl I use to date.

Elena

I don't have anyone anymore.

You have me.
