let's do it for Johnny

Nothing sparkly can stay.

Things are rough all over.

Okay greasers,you've had it.

Stay gold, Ponyboy, stay gold.

Dally was so real he scared me.

I'm a good judge of my own work.

He sure put things into words good.

Get smart and nothing can touch you.

the person in this picture is really me.

If you enjoy reading something, read it.

Writer's were supposed to be a litte crazy

You know the rules. No jazz before a rumble.

The difference is that was then, this is now.

It ain't fair that we have all the rough breaks!

nothing can wear you out like caring about people

Some are going, some are staying....i'm in between.

Movies can't ruin books. They can only ruin movies.

I lie to myself all the time. But I never believe me.

I wish I was a kid again, when I had all the answers.

I was a tomboy and most of my close friends were male.

I gotta cut smoking or I'll never make track next year

My goal from being a child was to have a happy home life.

I find it to be easier to write from a man's point of view.

When I see a movie with someone it's kind of uncomfortable.

I go straight from thinking about my narrator to being him.

...but I've never regretted it. You can't regret experience.

Naturally, everything boils down to relationships in my books.

There isn't any real good reason for fighting except self-defense.

'The Outsiders' died on the vine being sold as a drugstore paperback.

Anything you read can influence your work, so I try to read good stuff.

Even the most primite societies have an innate resepect for the insane.

I grew up here and my friends are here. There's nothing wrong with here.

I could write and help a lot of kids, or teach and help a few and go nuts.

All my life I wanted somebody who knew more than I did to tell me the truth.

But Dally, heaters kill people! Ya' kill 'em with switchblades to, don'tcha?

Y'all were heroes from the beginning. You just didn't 'turn' all of a sudden

I like having a private name and a public name. It helps keep things straight.

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

why do you like fights Darry~Ponyboy He just likes to show off his muscles~Sodapop

I think that The Outsiders was meant to be written, and I was just picked to write it.

My mother was physically and emotionally abusive. My father was an extremely cold man.

Can you see the sunset real good on the West side? You can see it on the East side too.

Maybe the two different worlds we lived in weren't so different. We saw the same sunset.

I think that 'The Outsiders' was meant to be written, and I was just picked to write it.

I don't know why I go to school unless for kicks, oh well might as well do dissect a frog.

I advise writing to oneself. If you don't want to read it, nobody else is going to read it.

My husband and I get along great. We're both introverts, and it's hard to make new friends.

It's okay. We aren't in the same class. Just don't forget that some of us watch the sunset too.

You get tough like me and you don't get hurt. You look out for yourself and nothin' can touch you.
