The Best Quotes From The Vampire Diaries Season 3

One thing we’ll never say about The Vampire Diaries: “You took the words right out of our mouths.” Elena and the gang utter things we’d neverdream of saying — or at least hope we never have to. Without further ado, here are Season 3’s most notable quotables.

(Season 3, Episode 8, “Ordinary People&rdquo ;)

Klaus didn’t sire you to think
Tyler: I didn’t think that we’d actually have to kill anyone.
