More quotes by 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
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
Movies can't ruin books. They can only ruin movies.
S. E. Hinton
Stay gold, Ponyboy, stay gold.
S. E. Hinton
If you enjoy reading something, read it.
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
But Dally, heaters kill people! Ya' kill 'em with switchblades to, don'tcha?
S. E. Hinton
You know a guy a longtime, and I mean really know him, you don't get used to the idea that he's dead just overnight.
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
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
I learned that if you want to get somewhere, you just make up your mind and work like hell til you get there.
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
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.
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
I wish I was a kid again, when I had all the answers.
S. E. Hinton
They shouldn't hate each other . . . I don't hate the Socs any more . . . they shouldn't hate . . .
S. E. Hinton
I gotta cut smoking or I'll never make track next year
S. E. Hinton
Dally was so real he scared me.
S. E. Hinton
It was too vast a problem to be just a personal thing. There should be some help, someone should tell them before it was too late. Someone should tell their side of the story, and maybe people would understand then, and wouldn’t be so quick to judge a boy by the amount of hair oil he wore.
S. E. Hinton
Even the most primite societies have an innate resepect for the insane.
S. E. Hinton
