Since The Vampire Diaries is known for its romance and mystery, and something wild happens in every episode, it's no wonder that the show's dialogue is so memorable. The main characters are always talking about their feelings and things get pretty deep, from Elena writing in her diary in season 1 after the loss of her parents to the Salvatore brothers admitting how they feel about the girl from Mystic Falls who they have both fallen for. The show is known for its humorous moments as well, and these hilarious quotes help cut through the intensity.
Whether Elena is speaking about the saddest parts of falling in love or Damon and Katherine are making jokes, fans of The Vampire Diaries love many quotes from this popular mysterious series, and they're sharing their favorite lines on Reddit.
Elena's Words About Love And Loss
“The worst day of loving someone is the day that you lose them.”
Elena's best quotes on The Vampire Diaries are honest and heartbreaking, as she doesn't mince words. She gets right to the subject at hand and always explains exactly how she feels.
One Redditor likes when Elena says this sad quote, and it's definitely a good one. Elena's words are a reminder of the famous Alfred Lord Tennyson's quote "Tis better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all." Elena knows that loving the Salvatore brothers has been a difficult ride but every moment has been worth it.
Stefan's Famous Quote About Feeling Epic
"I was feeling epic."
One Redditor mentioned this famous, beloved moment from the season 8 finale, and when fans think about their favorite quotes, this one often comes up.
Stefan and Elena see each other again in a limbo world, and they share a beautiful scene where it's clear that they still care deeply about each other, which is very satisfying for fans. Stefan sees Lexi leaning against a car and he says the line about "feeling epic," a quote that she once told him, and it's a nice callback.
Katherine's Joke About A Sandwich
"Are you the sandwich police?"
For Reddit user deextermorgan, Katherine has a hilarious scene at the Whitmore house when she pretends to be Elena. She says, "Are you the sandwich police?" and the fan wrote, "She was really funny and sarcastic that season."
While Katherine is of course evil, she has a bitter sense of humor that stands out. Whenever Katherine is in a scene, it's never going to be dull, and even though fans hate how she torments the other characters, they like hearing what she has to say.
Elena And Damon's First Meeting
"He's not one to brag."
Reddit user TheAngryBeezy likes "When Elena first meets Damon and she says "I didn't know stefen had a brother" and Damon is like 'well he's not one to brag.'"
TVD fans debate Damon and Stefan as Elena's soulmate, and while viewers will always have their own opinions, no one can argue that Elena and Damon's first meeting isn't hilarious, playful, and witty. It's a great prediction of the twists and turns that their relationship will take.
Damon's Joke About A Chipmunk
"Dear Diary, a chipmunk asked me my name today. I told him it was Joe. That lie will haunt me forever."
There's a lot of talk about journal writing on The Vampire Diaries since Elena spends a lot of season 1 writing down her thoughts in her diary. Reddit user andjason4all loves when Damon jokes about writing in his journal.
Damon's sense of humor is important as it helps set him apart from his brother. Stefan isn't humorless, but he's much more serious and practical than his brother, who tends to enjoy making sarcastic comments on a regular basis to avoid what he's feeling and thinking.
Elena Writing About Her Grief
"When someone asks 'How are you?' they really don't want an answer."
Elena has experienced pain on TVD and fans know that for the first part of the show, she gets her feelings and thoughts out on paper. For a while, Elena's diary is the most important thing in the world, and once she meets the Salvatore brothers, things change and she begins opening up to other people more.
Reddit user SabrinaInSalem likes when Elena writes in her journal, "When someone asks 'How are you?' they really don't want an answer." It's definitely a line that sticks with fans.
Stefan Explains His Love For Elena
"You don't know what I look like when I'm not in love with you."
The Vampire Diaries fans swoon when Stefan tells Elena that he always looks like he loves her since he cares so much about her. It's hard to imagine a more romantic quote, and fans know that no matter what happens between this couple, they will know that their love story was a meaningful one.
One Redditor said, "I really like this line too. It hits me hard. Like the line hurt MY feelings when I hear it and I’m not even Elena"
Stefan Tells Elena That Talking To Her Is Epic
"I met a girl, we talked and it was epic. Then the sun came up and reality set in. Well, this is reality right here."
When Elena explains to Stefan that she writes in her diary about how much she misses her parents and how tough life is without them, he explains what he would say if he wrote in his journal. Reddit user Stark_Targaryen_ loves when Stefan says that talking to Elena was epic and added, "I just love that quote so much. It always makes me smile when I hear it."
Whether viewers think that Elena should be with Stefan or Damon, Elena and Stefan's first meeting is romantic and sweet and exactly what fans of young adult dramas want to see.
Damon Talks To Stefan About His Moodiness
"You brood too much. Everything on this planet is not your fault. My actions, what I do, it's not your fault."
Stefan and Damon's TVD scenes prove that they always care about each other, even when they're at odds or one seems like the "good" brother and the other one seems to have bad intentions.
Reddit user qwerty9air likes when Damon says this to Stefan in season 1, and added that it's "the truth" and yet "false" because "part of Damon does blame Stefan for everything that's happened since he/they turned." The siblings have so many tough memories and emotions to work through and while they do both love Elena, that's the real journey that they're on.
Damon Tells Elena He Doesn't Want To Seem "Good"
"Because when people see good, they expect good. And I don’t want to have to live up to anyone’s expectations."
Reddit user rurohalen loves when Elena asks Damon why he doesn't allow people to see that he has goodness inside of him and he responds this way. The fan wrote, "My favorite exchange in the whole series, from episode 3x19, perfectly titled 'Heart of Darkness.'"
This is a particularly memorable quote since Elena knows that Damon has more compassion than most think and she can see a lot of things inside of him that no one else can. This quote is a great reminder of the bond that these two characters share.
