More quotes by S. E. Hinton
the person in this picture is really me.
S. E. Hinton
Sometimes, I feel like I spent the first part of my life wishing to be a teen-age boy, and the second part condemned to being one.
S. E. Hinton
If you enjoy reading something, read it.
S. E. Hinton
We couldn't get along without him. We needed Johnny as much as he needed the gang. And for the same reason.
S. E. Hinton
Get smart and nothing can touch you.
S. E. Hinton
He sure put things into words good.
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
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
...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
... Hey, I didn't know you didn't like baloney. I went cold. I don't like it. I never liked it. Soda just looked at me. You used to eat it. That's why you wouldn't eat anything while you were sick. You kept saying you didn't like baloney, no matter what it was we were trying to get you to eat. I don't like it, I repeated.
S. E. Hinton
Dally was so real he scared me.
S. E. Hinton
I used to be sure of things. Me, once i had all the answers. I wish i was a kid again, when i had all the answers
S. E. Hinton
Stay gold, Ponyboy, stay gold.
S. E. Hinton
He died violent and young and desperate, just like we all knew he'd die someday.
S. E. Hinton
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
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
You know what the crummiest feeling you can have is? To hate the person you love the best in the world.
S. E. Hinton
When I stepped out into the bright sunlight from the darkness of the movie house, I had only two things on my mind: Paul Newman and a ride home.
S. E. Hinton
I gotta cut smoking or I'll never make track next year
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.
