S. E. Hinton
I am a greaser. I am a JD and a hood. I blacken the name of our fair city. I beat up people. I rob gas stations. I am a menace to society. Man do I have fun!
S. E. Hinton

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.

S. E. Hinton
