I'd rather die on my own terms than live on theirs. I'd rather die loving Alex than live without him. ↗

This is the strange way of the world, that people who simply want to love are instead forced to become warriors. ↗

Alex loved books. He was the one who first introduced me to poetry. That's another reason I can't read anymore. ↗

You're right. And so was my snake." Snake?" He pulled my arm out to expose my bracelet. "When I carved this my thoughts were on you, love. Your life is like this snake's coils. No matter how many turns it makes, you'll end up back where you belong. With me. ↗

It's the rule of the wilds. You must be bigger, and stronger, and tougher. A coldness radiates through me, a solid wall that is growing, piece by piece, in my chest. He doesn't love me.

You must hurt or be hurt. ↗

I could quit the committee. But that would leave Bonnie and Meredith holding the bag. And I keep remembering what Matt said when I asked him to get Stefan to come to the dance: "You want everybody and everything revolving around Elena Gilbert." That isn't true.

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 love me as much as I love him. ↗
