I know these are all quotes/moments from the first few books, but those are the only ones I've read so far. Here are my favorites:


She’d have him, even if it killed her. If it killed both of them, she’d have him.

-

Damn Stefan Salvatore. So cold and controlled even while saving her life. Damn him for his politeness, and for his gallantry, and for the walls around him that seemed thicker and higher than ever.

-

And then she saw it, the anguish shattering his gaze, as if he simply couldn`t fight any longer. The defeat as the walls finally crumbled and she saw what was underneath.

-

Elena felt Stefan`s lips meet hers. And... it was as simple as that. All 質問 answered, all fears put to rest, all doubts removed. What she felt was not merely passion, but a bruising tenderness and a 愛 so strong it made her shake inside. It would have been frightening in its intensity, except that while she was with him, she could not be afraid of anything.

-

It was odd, perhaps, but she didn`t want to share Stefan with her フレンズ just yet. He was so new to her that he felt almost like a secret.

-

Elena... For a moment he felt a rush of pure joy and awe, forgetting everything else. Elena, warm as sunlight, soft as morning, but with a core of steel that could not be broken. She was like 火災, 火 burning in ice, like the keen edge of a silver dagger.

-

It doesn`t matter if あなた can`t say it right now. I`ll say it for both of us. And someday you`ll learn.

-

I want - oh, this is going to sound completely stupid, but I want to be worthy of Stefan. I know he wouldn`t let the guys on the team down just to suit his own convenience. I want him to be proud of me. I want him to 愛 me as much as I 愛 him.

-

Elena waited until that confusion reached his eyes, shattering his gaze, becoming almost a look of pleading. She knew that her own face was fearless, soft yet intense, her lips slightly parted. They were both breathing quickly now, together, in rhythm. Elena could feel it when he started to shake, trembling as he had when the memories of Katherine had become too much to bear. Then, very gently and deliberately, she drew that snarling mouth down to her own.

-

She felt the change, the transformation in his mouth as he yielded, responding helplessly to her, meeting her soft kisses with equal softness. She felt the shudder go through Stefan`s body as the hard grip on her shoulders softened, too, becoming an embrace. And she knew she`d won.

-

"Oh, Elena, I believe it. Whatever happens, we`ll be together."

-

All she knew was that she needed to see him, to hear his voice, to feel his arms around her. Being away from him was like being separated from her own flesh.

-

"I`ve already found what I want. And who I want to be with for ever."

-

Elena. Even when he wasn`t looking at her, he was aware of her もっと見る than of anything else in the room. Her living presence beat against his skin like sunlight against closed eyelids. When he actually let himself turn to face her, it was a sweet shock to all his senses.

-

Elena shut her eyes and leaned her head against her drawn-up knees. She felt much warmer now. Her mind drifted and she saw Stefan, saw him smile at her. His arms around her were srong and secure, and she relaxed against him, glad to let go of fear and tension. She was home. She was where she belonged. Stefan would never let anything hurt her.

-

"Aunt Judith will have a fit is she knows I`m engaged before I graduate. But I`ll be eighteen 次 summer, and then she can`t stop us."

-

"As long as あなた 愛 me, I`ll never change my mind."

-

"Well, that`s too bad because you`re going to have to tolerate it. I am never going to give Stefan up, not for anyone. Certainly not for you!"

-

"He`s not `that boy`, he`s Stefan and he`s all I care about. And I happen to be engaged to him."

-

He`d kissed Elena`s cold forehead and laid her under a willow tree. He would come back here, if he could, to 登録する her, after.
