...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.

They grew up on the outside of society. They weren't looking for a fight. They were looking to belong.

Image
I'm a good judge of my own work.
S. E. Hinton
Image
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
Image
It's okay. We aren't in the same class. Just don't forget that some of us watch the sunset too.

Y'all were heroes from the beginning. You just didn't 'turn' all of a sudden
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.
