Vampire Diaries Quotes: Damon [S4E2]

"They're floating lanterns in the sky. Can you believe that? Japanese lanterns as a symbol of letting go of the past. Well here's a news flash, we're not Japanese! You know what they are? Children. Like lighting a candle is gonna make everything okay or even saying a prayer or pretending Elena is not gonna end up just like the rest of us murderous vampires. Stupid, delusional, exasperating little children. I know what you're gonna say. "Makes them feel better, Damon." So what? For how long? A minute, a day? What difference does it make? Because in the end, when you lose somebody every candle, every prayer is not gonna make up for the fact that you have left is a hole in your life where that somebody that you cared about used to be. And a rock...with a birthdate carved into it, that I'm pretty sure is wrong. So, thanks friend. Thanks for leaving me here to babysit. Because I should be long gone by now. I didn't get the girl, remember? I'm just stuck here fighting with my brother and taking care of the kids. You owe me big."
