Anything you read can influence your work, so I try to read good stuff.
S. E. Hinton
let's do it for Johnny
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
Movies can't ruin books. They can only ruin movies.
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
I learned that if you want to get somewhere, you just make up your mind and work like hell til you get there.
S. E. Hinton
Nothing sparkly can stay.
S. E. Hinton
I wish I was a kid again, when I had all the answers.
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
...but I've never regretted it. You can't regret experience.
S. E. Hinton
They shouldn't hate each other . . . I don't hate the Socs any more . . . they shouldn't hate . . .
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
Get smart and nothing can touch you.

If you enjoy reading something, read it.
