Anything you read can influence your work, so I try to read good stuff.
S. E. Hinton
But Dally, heaters kill people! Ya' kill 'em with switchblades to, don'tcha?
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.

I advise writing to oneself. If you don't want to read it, nobody else is going to read it.
S. E. Hinton
Some are going, some are staying....i'm in between.
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
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
You get tough like me and you don't get hurt. You look out for yourself and nothin' can touch you.
S. E. Hinton
He sure put things into words good.
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
Movies can't ruin books. They can only ruin movies.
S. E. Hinton
the person in this picture is really me.
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 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
...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
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 really do like listening to stuff that's happened to other people. I guess that's why I like to read.
S. E. Hinton
... Hey, I didn't know you didn't like baloney. I went cold. I don't like it. I never liked it. Soda just looked at me. You used to eat it. That's why you wouldn't eat anything while you were sick. You kept saying you didn't like baloney, no matter what it was we were trying to get you to eat. I don't like it, I repeated.
S. E. Hinton
