More quotes by 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
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.
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
Stay gold, Ponyboy, stay gold.
S. E. Hinton
Nothing sparkly can stay.
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

S. E. Hinton
You know what the crummiest feeling you can have is? To hate the person you love the best in the world.
S. E. Hinton
You know the rules. No jazz before a rumble.
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
I advise writing to oneself. If you don't want to read it, nobody else is going to read it.
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
Dally was so real he scared me.
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'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
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
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 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
Even the most primite societies have an innate resepect for the insane.
S. E. Hinton
