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.

More quotes by S. E. Hinton
He sure put things into words good.
S. E. Hinton
I advise writing to oneself. If you don't want to read it, nobody else is going to read it.
S. E. Hinton
Movies can't ruin books. They can only ruin movies.
S. E. Hinton
Stay gold, Ponyboy, stay gold.
S. E. Hinton
Asleep, he looked a lot younger than going-on-seventeen, but I had noticed that Johnny looked younger when he was asleep too, so I figured everyone did. Maybe people are younger when they are asleep.
S. E. Hinton
But Dally, heaters kill people! Ya' kill 'em with switchblades to, don'tcha?
S. E. Hinton
Johnny almost grinned as he nodded. Tuff enough, he managed, and by the way his eyes were glowing, I figured Southern gentlemen had nothing on Johnny Cade.
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

S. E. Hinton

S. E. Hinton

S. E. Hinton

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
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.
S. E. Hinton
I have no idea why I write. The old standards are: I like to express my feelings, stretch my imagination, earn money.
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
I'm a good judge of my own work.
S. E. Hinton
I was a tomboy and most of my close friends were male.
S. E. Hinton
You get tough like me and you don't get hurt. You look out for yourself and nothin' can touch you.
S. E. Hinton
Some are going, some are staying....i'm in between.
S. E. Hinton
