Character: Alaric Saltzman

Self-sacrifice rarely lives up to the expectations of those who sacrifice themselves.

- There is always a catch.

You deserve to for you continued to fight.

In the world of men to tell the truth is sometimes more dangerous than lying.

Do not give the devil what he wants, if you don't know what he wants.

Sometimes, truly, you are defines what we can not.

- Alcohol is poison.
- If it's poison, why do you drink it?
- Because there are things inside me that I wanted to kill.

She loved you too much. And it was killing her.

Something that we can't see them doesn't mean they are not.
In contrast to Caroline's feelings for Stefan.

- He's a psychotic killer!
- You just forgot about it all good.
- I don't know how much the good outweighs the bad.

- They let the lights in the sky. Can you believe it? Japanese lantern is a symbol of letting go of the past. Well, urgent message - we are not Japanese. You know who they are? Children. It's like lighting the candles, you fix it, or even saying a prayer or pretending Elena is not going to end up just like all the rest - vampire-killer. Stupid nonsense. Obnoxious little children. I know you will say, "So they feel better, Damon". What? How long will it last? A minute? Day? What is the difference? Because in the end, when we lose somebody, every candle, every prayer is not going to change the fact that the only thing you have left is hole in your life at the place where once was somebody you care about. And stone. With carved on it the date of birth, which I'm pretty sure is wrong. Well, thank you, friend. Thank you for leaving me here to baby-sit. Because I had to go a long time ago. The girl wasn't mine, remember? I'm just stuck here fighting with my brother and taking care of children. You owe me.
- I miss you too, buddy.

This is the hardest part - not knowing.

You know, it's so hard to sleep when that is what you should do.

- It's impossible. I would know if I were killing people.
Sure? You don't have memory lapses? Instances of lost time?
- You're crazy.
- No, but maybe you have. You wear a ring that lets you cheat death, RIC. How many times can you die before it changes you? I think you're sick and want to help you. This has happened almost 100 years ago.
- Elena...
- Rick, I think she's right.
