Quotes

Jessica: Are you going to hurt me?
Damon: I’m not sure…because you are my existential crisis. Do I kill or do I not kill you?

Caroline: Everybody just needs to stop kissing me!

Damon: I’m not human. And I miss it. I miss it more than anything in the world. That is my secret.

Damon: I’m lost… metaphorically, existentially.

Damon: I feel, Elena. And it sucks.

Jules: This town is crawling with vampires. But, don’t worry, we’ll get them.

Jules: I’m your friend. There are others like us, and they’re on their way.

Rose: I miss being human.
Damon: Humanity’s not all it’s cracked up to be.

Damon [to Rose]: You went on a murderous rampage. It happens.

Matt [to Caroline]: What are you keeping from me? If you love me, you’ll tell me. What is it?

Stefan: There’s a lot of people here.
Damon: Damn. There goes my plan to rip her spleen through her back.

Rose: I’m a vampire. I haven’t had a cold in five centuries.

Stefan: He’s an Original. I don’t really know what that means.

Elena: Don’t ruin the moment. You’re about to ruin the moment, aren’t you?
Stefan: I’m totally ruining the moment.
