Dally was so real he scared me.
S. E. Hinton
Image
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
Image
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.

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

If you enjoy reading something, read it.

I gotta cut smoking or I'll never make track next year
S. E. Hinton
Image
...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.

I advise writing to oneself. If you don't want to read it, nobody else is going to read it.

Image
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
Image
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.

He died violent and young and desperate, just like we all knew he'd die someday.
S. E. Hinton
Image
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
Image
I like having a private name and a public name. It helps keep things straight.
S. E. Hinton
Image
...but I've never regretted it. You can't regret experience.
S. E. Hinton
Image
You know the rules. No jazz before a rumble.
S. E. Hinton
Image
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.

You know what the crummiest feeling you can have is? To hate the person you love the best in the world.
S. E. Hinton
Image
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!

I go straight from thinking about my narrator to being him.

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.
