- She's not coming back.
- I'm not a fool, Elena.
Of course this possibility occurred to me,
but what kind of man would I be if I didn't try to find my Katerina beneath this Katherine facade?
- You boys are all the same.
Damon and Stefan still think that the girl they love is still in here somewhere, too.
- You can't blame them for having hope, Elena.
It'd be a shame if the world lost a soul as compassionate as yours.
- Your compassion is a gift.
- Carry it with you always and forever.
I remember reading that in a letter once.
- I'm sure he did.
And it felt good to watch that letter burn,
along with my old life.
