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.

More quotes by S. E. Hinton
I wish I was a kid again, when I had all the answers.
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
If you want to be a writer, I have two pieces of advice. One is to be a reader. I think that's one of the most important parts of learning to write. The other piece of advice is 'Just do it!' Don't think about it, don't agonize, sit down and write.
S. E. Hinton
You know the rules. No jazz before a rumble.
S. E. Hinton
He died violent and young and desperate, just like we all knew he'd die someday.

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 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
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
the person in this picture is really me.
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
I gotta cut smoking or I'll never make track next year
S. E. Hinton
But Dally, heaters kill people! Ya' kill 'em with switchblades to, don'tcha?

Get smart and nothing can touch you.

I'm a good judge of my own work.
