“I don’t need some spirit journey with a bunch of strangers to convince me that my redemption is within reach. I just need the people I love. The list is short, but profound. You’re right at the top, alongside a great girl I hope to marry one day. Don’t walk away from your list because you don’t think you’re worth it.” – Damon to Stefan
“I’m not going anywhere. I’d rather burn alive than abandon you.” – Bonnie to Enzo
“I guess what I’m trying to say is you knew me better than anyone. You always have. Which is why you already know how impossible it is for me to find the words to say goodbye.” – Elena to Stefan
“That’s my hope for you, Matt. In our crazy life you always stay the same. Human, loyal, good. My hope is that you spend the rest of your life fighting for people like you.” – Elena to Matt
“Thank you for bumping into me that day in the hallway. I never though I would ever be happy again. Then I met you. You changed everything for me. You quite literally saved my life. I love you so much. Which is why I can’t wait to find out what new life you’ve chosen for yourself in 60 years or 70 years or whenever I see you again.” – Elena to Stefan

“I just have to say it once. You just need to hear it. I love you, Elena. And it’s because I love you that I can’t be selfish with you… I don’t deserve you, but my brother does. God, i wish you don’t have to forget this… But, you do.” – Damon to Elena
“Well, the vervain keeps me out of her head. Maybe that’s not my target. Believe it or not, Stefan, some girls don’t need my persuasion. Some girls just can’t resist my good looks, my style and my charm, and my unflinching ability to listen to Taylor Swift.” – Damon

“You saw light in me when all I saw was darkness. You saved me from despair. You told me once that I would fall madly in love without realizing it, and that’s what happened. Day by day, bit by bit, year by year, with you.” – Stefan to Caroline
