Dally was so real he scared me.
S. E. Hinton
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.
S. E. Hinton
But Dally, heaters kill people! Ya' kill 'em with switchblades to, don'tcha?
S. E. Hinton
If you want to be a writer, I have two pieces of advice. One is to be a reader. I think that's one of the most important parts of learning to write. The other piece of advice is 'Just do it!' Don't think about it, don't agonize, sit down and write.
S. E. Hinton
...but I've never regretted it. You can't regret experience.
S. E. Hinton
They grew up on the outside of society. They weren't looking for a fight. They were looking to belong.
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
Y'all were heroes from the beginning. You just didn't 'turn' all of a sudden
S. E. Hinton
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.
S. E. Hinton
Some are going, some are staying....i'm in between.
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
I go straight from thinking about my narrator to being him.
S. E. Hinton
Movies can't ruin books. They can only ruin movies.
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
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
You know what the crummiest feeling you can have is? To hate the person you love the best in the world.
S. E. Hinton

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
He died violent and young and desperate, just like we all knew he'd die someday.
