S.E. Hinton Quote

Things were rough all over, but it was better that way. That way you could tell the other guy was human too. Sixteen years on the streets and you can learn a lot. But all the wrong things, not the things you want to learn. Sixteen years on the streets and you see a lot. But all the wrong sights, not the things you want to see.
