More quotes by S. E. Hinton
I never base a character on someone I know. You can get ideas from real life, but every character you write is some aspect of yourself.
S. E. Hinton
It's okay. We aren't in the same class. Just don't forget that some of us watch the sunset too.
S. E. Hinton
They used to be buddies, I thought, they used to be friends, and now they hate each other because one has to work for a living and the other comes from the West Side. They shouldn't hate each other.
S. E. Hinton
That's why people don't ever think to blame the Socs and are always ready to jump on us. We look hoody and they look decent. It could be just the other way around - half of the hoods I know are pretty decent guys underneath all that grease, and from what I've heard, a lot of Socs are just cold-blooded mean - but people usually go by looks.
S. E. Hinton
If you enjoy reading something, read it.
S. E. Hinton
Greasers will still be greasers and Socs will still be Socs. Sometimes I think it's the ones in the middle that are really the lucky stiffs.
S. E. Hinton
I really do like listening to stuff that's happened to other people. I guess that's why I like to read.
S. E. Hinton
They shouldn't hate each other . . . I don't hate the Socs any more . . . they shouldn't hate . . .
S. E. Hinton
...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
Some are going, some are staying....i'm in between.
S. E. Hinton
I used to be sure of things. Me, once i had all the answers. I wish i was a kid again, when i had all the answers
S. E. Hinton
the person in this picture is really me.
S. E. Hinton
What's the safest thing to be when one is met by a gang of social outcasts in an alley? ...No, another social outcast!
S. E. Hinton
It seemed funny that the sunset she saw from her patio and the one I saw from the back steps was the same one. Maybe the two worlds we lived in weren’t so different. We saw the same sunset.
S. E. Hinton
Mace, you never read Smoky the Cowhorse,did you? No. Well,ol' Smoky, he had somebad things happen to him,had the heart knocked clean out of him.But he hung on and came out of it okay.I've been bashed up pretty good,Mason, but I'm going to make it.
S. E. Hinton
I like having a private name and a public name. It helps keep things straight.
S. E. Hinton
They grew up on the outside of society. They weren't looking for a fight. They were looking to belong.
S. E. Hinton
We couldn't get along without him. We needed Johnny as much as he needed the gang. And for the same reason.
S. E. Hinton
I made up my mind that I'd get out of that place and I didI learned that if you want to get somewhere, you just make up your mind and work like hell til you get there. If you want to go somewhere in life, you just have to work till you make it.
S. E. Hinton
Y'all were heroes from the beginning. You just didn't 'turn' all of a sudden
