S.E. Hinton Quote
Ponyboy, listen, don't get tough. You're not like the rest of us and don't try to be...What was the matter with Two-Bit? I knew as well as he did that if you got tough you didn't get hurt. Get smart and nothing can touch you...What in the world are you doing? Two-Bit's voice broke into my thoughts.I looked up at him. Picking up the glass.He stared at me for a second, then grinned. You little sonofagun, he said in a relieved voice. I didn't know what he was talking about, so I just went on picking up the glass from the bottle end and put it in a trash can. I didn't want anyone to get a flat tire.
