We are only 2 days away from the return of The Vampire Diaries season 5 with the series’ 100th episode, and to continue our commemoration of the momentous occasion we are proud to present 22 more quotes, this time from season 3.

Even The Vampire Diaries season 3 seems like a while ago now, but the season of the slow build definitely raised the stakes for Damon and Elena while Stefan was off playing blood-servant to Klaus. The return of big, bad Klaus to Mystic Falls meant a steady level of fear for all our main characters, as death follows closely behind Klaus everywhere he goes.

More than anything, The Vampire Diaries season 3 will always be remembered as the season Elena turned into a vampire. The Wickery Bridge won in battle number 2 vs Elena Gilbert (with a little help from Rebekah Mikaelson). Elena’s untimely death was a huge turning point for the series and has opened up an entire world of storytelling possibilities.

Be sure to check out the quotes from season 1 and season 2 as we continue our look back through the 100 episodes of The Vampire Diaries. Here are the next 22 quotes in our journey to the 100th episode, from The Vampire Diaries season 3:
