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

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
Stay gold, Ponyboy, stay gold.

Movies can't ruin books. They can only ruin movies.
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
I go straight from thinking about my narrator to being him.
S. E. Hinton
Anything you read can influence your work, so I try to read good stuff.
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
Y'all were heroes from the beginning. You just didn't 'turn' all of a sudden
S. E. Hinton
I'm a good judge of my own work.
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
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
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
Nothing sparkly can stay.
