More quotes by 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
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
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
I go straight from thinking about my narrator to being him.
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
Nothing sparkly can stay.
S. E. Hinton
He sure put things into words good.
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.
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 gotta cut smoking or I'll never make track next year
S. E. Hinton
the person in this picture is really me.
S. E. Hinton
Movies can't ruin books. They can only ruin movies.
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 the rules. No jazz before a rumble.
S. E. Hinton
I really do like listening to stuff that's happened to other people. I guess that's why I like to read.
