Quote by Baltasar Gracián

“The art of leaving things alone. Especially when the seas of public or personal life are stormiest. There are whirlwinds in the affairs of men, tempests of the will, and it makes good sense to retire and wait things out in a safe harbour... Let nature or morality take its course.”

“We had quite an argument before she left. Mari just could not let go of her ideal of dedication and saving lives and all that. I told her no one would appreciate her, but she said she didn't care. It angers me to think that some people are taking advantage of her, of her pureness. But you know, in a way I envy her. I envy her for having that much passion left in her. - Akiko”

“It's all for the love of a show that was not easy to make—what with the night shoots, the complex mythology, and the sheer number of episodes-and was only made more difficult by the passion of those working on it, individuals who were simply unwilling to make anything less than the best show they could. It was that passion, as writers, actors, crew members, executives, and everyone constantly strove for excellence, that solidified The Vampire Diaries' smart, sexy, shocking, scary, sad, wonderful, amazing, and, above all, epic legacy.”
