Quotes 

• Elena Gilbert : Are you ready for this?

  Damon Salvatore : Ready to spend the next 60 years of my life without you in it? Who's ever going to be ready for that?

  Elena Gilbert : I love you, Damon Salvatore.

  Damon Salvatore : I love you too.

• Elena Gilbert : Thank you for bumping into me that day in the hallway. I never thought I would be happy again and 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 or 70 years when I see you again.

  Stefan Salvatore : I can guarantee it won't be high school.

  Elena Gilbert : Just be happy. I'll see you soon.

  Stefan Salvatore : I'll see you Elena.

• Elena Gilbert : What are you doing?

  Damon Salvatore : Waiting for you.

  Elena Gilbert : On the ground where we first met?

  Damon Salvatore : I'm feeling symbolic.

  Elena Gilbert : It's bad, isn't it?

  Damon Salvatore : I believe you owe me a dance Miss Gilbert.

  Elena Gilbert : Damon, just tell me. How bad is it?

  Damon Salvatore : Dance with me. Please.

• Elena Gilbert : Hang on, hang on. Wait I just need two seconds.

  Stefan Salvatore : Well you are the on who chose a five mile hike to say goodbye.

  Elena Gilbert : This isn't goodbye Stefan. Besides this hike is where I told you I didn't want to be a vampire. I thought it would be fitting, considering.

  Stefan Salvatore : Because you're a weak human again?

  Elena Gilbert : You knew that I never wanted to be a vampire. Even before we took our first steps off that mountain, you just wanted to hear me say it out loud.

  Stefan Salvatore : A lot of good that did.

  Elena Gilbert : I guess what I was trying to say is that 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.

  Stefan Salvatore : Don't. I can't do this, not now, not ever.

• Elena Gilbert : You're going easy on me, come on. This is supposed to be a special moment.

  Alaric Saltzman : Yeah, look I can't do this.

  Elena Gilbert : Don't do that, don't give up like that.

  Alaric Saltzman : Why not? I have nothing left to fight for.

• Elena Gilbert : Take care of everyone while I'm gone, ok?

  Caroline Forbes : I will, I promise.

  Elena Gilbert : Promise me something, both of you. Write it all down. Everything you accomplish in your lives, every crush, when you fall in love, when you start a family, every time you fantasize about wanting to killing Damon. Write it down. So that one day when I wake up I can read all about my best friend's lives and feel like I was there.

  Bonnie Bennett : I'm so sorry, Elena I'm really... I'm so sorry.

  Elena Gilbert : This isn't your fault. Hey, we'll both get everything we want; we just can't have it at the same time.

• Elena Gilbert : Bonnie Bennett, you have spent your entire life making sacrifices for me, now it's my turn to do it for you.

• Damon Salvatore : Dance with me. this was supposed to be our big night.

  Elena Gilbert : Tell me Damon. I can see it all over your face, how bad is it?

  Damon Salvatore : Kai linked you and Bonnie. You won't wake up until she dies.

  Elena Gilbert : What?

  Damon Salvatore : He won Elena.

  Elena Gilbert : What are you going to do? Damon?

• Tyler Lockwood : So, where are we in this vision of yours?

  Elena Gilbert : Not here, not in Mystic Falls. You need to get out of here Tyler. You need to figure out what it is you want to do, who you want to be and then just really fight for it. You're going to be fine Tyler, you're a wolf now embrace it, don't fight it. Let it be the light that makes you extraordinary.

• Damon Salvatore : You could have just told me what to do.

  Elena Gilbert : I knew what you were going to do.

  Damon Salvatore : You knew that the evil, selfish Damon Salvatore would give up the love of his life to save her best friend.

  Elena Gilbert : I knew that the love of my life would stand by his best friend even if it meant having to life without me for a little while.

  Damon Salvatore : Things are going tp be awfully dull around here without you.

  Elena Gilbert : No they're no Damon because you're not going to sit around waiting for me.

  Damon Salvatore : Well I was thinking of doing the starvation diet, 'least desiccation makes the time go faster.

  Elena Gilbert : Damon, this isn't going to work if you just shut down. I need you to live your life, enjoy yourself. I want you to be happy, now how about that dance.

• Elena Gilbert : You're going to think that the pain will never end, but it will. But first you have to let it all in. You can't fight it, it's bigger than you. You have to let yourself drown in it but then eventually you'll start to swim and every single breath that you fight for will make you stronger. And I promise you you'll beat it.

• Elena Gilbert : Here, say it.

  Matt Donovan : No, I'm not doing this.

  Elena Gilbert : Fine I'll say it. Here lies Elena Gilbert, the fun girlfriend and amazing friend.

  Matt Donovan : I'm glad one of us can find humour in this.

  Elena Gilbert : I have to find humour in this Matt because the alternative... the alternative would be to say goodbye and I'm just not ready for that yet.

• Matt Donovan : There I did it, you happy?

  Elena Gilbert : Very. Now it's your turn newbie.

  Matt Donovan : So I'm a cop huh?

  Elena Gilbert : That's my hope for you Matt. In our crazy lives together you've always stayed the same; human, loyal and good. My hope is that you spend the rest of your life fighting for people like you.

  Matt Donovan : You know there's a good chance that I'll never see you again.

  Elena Gilbert : Matt, look at everything the two of us have survived. I like our odds.
