You know what the crummiest feeling you can have is? To hate the person you love the best in the world.
S. E. Hinton
Image
I am a greaser. I am a JD and a hood. I blacken the name of our fair city. I beat up people. I rob gas stations. I am a menace to society. Man do I have fun!
S. E. Hinton
Image
You take up for your buddies, no matter what they do. When you're a gang, you stick up for the members. If you don't stick up for them, stick together, make like brothers, it isn't a gang anymore. It's a pack. A snarling, distrustful, bickering park like the Socs in their social clubs or the street gangs in New York or the wolves in the timber.

If you want to be a writer, I have two pieces of advice. One is to be a reader. I think that's one of the most important parts of learning to write. The other piece of advice is 'Just do it!' Don't think about it, don't agonize, sit down and write.

Y'all were heroes from the beginning. You just didn't 'turn' all of a sudden
S. E. Hinton
Image
...people get hurt in rumbles, maybe killed. I'm sick of it because it doesn't do any good. You can't win...even if you whip us. You'll still be where you were before- at the bottom. And we'll still be the lucky ones with all the breaks. So it doesn't do any good, the fighting and the killing. It doesn't prove a thing.
S. E. Hinton
Image
...but I've never regretted it. You can't regret experience.
S. E. Hinton
Image
Some are going, some are staying....i'm in between.
S. E. Hinton
Image
I guess I just couldn't see standing there -- alive, talking, thinking, breathing, being -- one second, and dead the next. It really bothered me. Death by violence isn't the same as dying any other way, accident or disease or old age. It just ain't the same.

When I stepped out into the bright sunlight from the darkness of the movie house, I had only two things on my mind: Paul Newman and a ride home.

I like having a private name and a public name. It helps keep things straight.

I go straight from thinking about my narrator to being him.

I advise writing to oneself. If you don't want to read it, nobody else is going to read it.
