Written by: Arshi (Age 15, Canada)

In 'Say What', we assemble some of our favorite quotes from films, televisions, celebs, and historical figures.

It's the rise of the vampires! We all know that the Twilight saga definitely contributed to the sudden popularity of vampires, but don't forget the hit series The Vampire Diaries. Although fans of the series were tentative about the TV show, it quickly proved that it was going to be a very amazing show. Here are some quotes from the popular TV show about vampire brothers and a teenage girl caught between them!


Caroline: His name is Stefan Salvatore. He's a Gemini and his favorite color is blue.
Bonnie: You got all that in one day?
Caroline: Please. I got all that between third and fourth period.

Elena: Dear Diary: Today will be different. It has to be. I will smile and it will be believable. My smile will say, 'I'm fine. Thank you. Yes. Much better.' I will no longer be the girl who lost her parents. I will start fresh. Be someone new. It's the only way I'll make it through.


Damon: I'm Damon, Stefan's brother.
Elena: He didn' tell me he had a brother.
Damon: Well, Stefan isn't one to brag.

Damon: We both know the closest you'll ever get to humanity is when you rip it open and feed on it.

Stefan: They are people, Damon. She's not a puppet, she doesn't exist for your amusement, for you to feed on whenever you want to.
Damon: Sure she does. They all do. They're whatever I want them to be.

Damon: You're dead, dude. Get over it.

Damon: What's so special about this Bella girl? Edward's so whipped!
Caroline: You've gotta read the first book first. It won't make sense if you don't.
Damon: I miss Anne Rice. She was so on it.

Damon: It's cool not growing old. I like being the eternal stud.

Elena: I want so much to make things right but every instinct in my body is telling me to be careful. What you don't know can hurt you.

Elena: I'm not gonna be one of those pathetic girls whose world stops just because of some guy.

Damon: You won. Now nothing can come between you and Elena. Except the truth. The lies catch up to you, the longer you keep lying to yourself about who you are.
Stefan: The beauty of you in there and me out here ... is that I can walk away.


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

Caroline: I am gonna drink until someone is hot enough to make out with.

Damon: Does it get tiring, being so righteous?
Elena: It flares up in the presence of psychopaths.

Damon: Stefan smiles. Alert the media!

Jenna: I've sworn off men forever, but it doesn't mean I can't observe them from a safe distance.

Anna: Dracula was a complete wuss. Never showered. Very smelly.

Damon: Have I entered an alternate universe where Stefan is fun?

Stefan: I really liked you better when you hated everybody.
Damon: I still do. I just love that they love me.

Damon: You seem awfully chipper lately. Less doom and gloom. More pep in your step.


Damon: Stefan likes puppy blood... little Golden Retriever blood with floppy ears. That's his favorite.

Damon: Stefan is different. He wants to be human. He wants to feel every episode of How I Met Your Mother.

Damon: I do believe in killing the messenger. Know why? It sends a message.

Stefan: What proof do you have?
Damon: I don't need proof. That's between Elena, John, Maury and a DNA test.

Damon: I'm not a hero, Elena. I don't do good. It's not in me.
Elena: Maybe it is.
