He died violent and young and desperate, just like we all knew he'd die someday.
S. E. Hinton
I have no idea why I write. The old standards are: I like to express my feelings, stretch my imagination, earn money.

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.

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
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
...I knew he would be dead, because Dally Winston wanted to be dead and he always got what he wanted.

You know what the crummiest feeling you can have is? To hate the person you love the best in the world.
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.
