You get tough like me and you don't get hurt. You look out for yourself and nothin' can touch you.
S. E. Hinton
Image
They grew up on the outside of society. They weren't looking for a fight. They were looking to belong.
S. E. Hinton
Image
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
Image
Y'all were heroes from the beginning. You just didn't 'turn' all of a sudden

Image
I advise writing to oneself. If you don't want to read it, nobody else is going to read it.
S. E. Hinton
Image
He died violent and young and desperate, just like we all knew he'd die someday.

But Dally, heaters kill people! Ya' kill 'em with switchblades to, don'tcha?

That's why people don't ever think to blame the Socs and are always ready to jump on us. We look hoody and they look decent. It could be just the other way around - half of the hoods I know are pretty decent guys underneath all that grease, and from what I've heard, a lot of Socs are just cold-blooded mean - but people usually go by looks.

I don't know why I go to school unless for kicks, oh well might as well do dissect a frog.
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.
S. E. Hinton
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.

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.

You know a guy a longtime, and I mean really know him, you don't get used to the idea that he's dead just overnight.
