Stefan Salvatore quotes from The Vampire Diaries

Stefan

For over a century, I have lived in secret. Until now. I knew the risk, but I’ve to know Her .Hiding in the shadows. Alone in the world. Until now. I'm a vampire, and this is my story.

Stefan

[Narration] I did what I had to do...to protect Elena...to protect everyone. Yes, Damon, the headline reads: “Deadly beast captured. All is well in Mystic Falls.”

Stefan

(to Elena) You wanna know me, right? Well, I figure if you’re gonna dump me, you should at least...uhmm...know who you’re dumping.

Stefan

I do know that I did some things that..I’m not proud of. And my biggest regret..is not being able to make it right before she died.

Stefan

We choose our own path. Our values and our actions, they define who we are.

Stefan

Now you remember that. Because it's never happening again.

Stefan

Please dance with your alcoholic vampire boyfriend.

Stefan

When you feel the blood rush in, you tell yourself that you're gonna get through it; that you're strong enough. Yes, yes – no matter how good it feels to give yourself over to it, you fight it off. You bury it.

Stefan

(on saving Elena) I can't think of a better reason to die.

Stefan

He's an Original. I don't really know what that means.

Stefan

Dammit, Tyler, I'm trying to save your life. Can't you see that?

Stefan

This is a future memory: it's where your boyfriend whispered to you that he loved you.

Stefan

I think there are a lot of conversations to be had about our future. About the kind of life we can have together.

Stefan

You wanna let yourself get killed? That's not heroic. That's tragic.

Stefan

Hunt. Prey. Kill. It was all I knew.
