He was studying me. ¨You know, you look an awful lot like Sodapop, the way you've got your hair and everything. I mean, except your eyes are green.¨ ¨They ain't green, they're gray,¨ I said, reddening...
He had strange eyes-they make me think of a two-way mirror. Like you could feel somebody on the other side watching you, but the only reflections you saw was your own.
Dally was so real he scared me.
All my life I wanted somebody who knew more than I did to tell me the truth.
No es cuestión de dejar de vivir solo porque hayas perdido a alguien.
No deberíamos de estar separados después de haber trabajado tanto para permanecer juntos.
You know the rules. No jazz before a rumble.
Well, you're real brave, real stupid, or real lucky.
We needed Johnny as much as he needed the gang. And for the same reason.
Socs were just guys after all. Things were rough all over, but it was better that way. That way you could tell the other guy was human too.

You oughta see Kathy's brother. Now there's a hood. He's so greasy he glides when he walks. He goes to the barber for an oil change, not a haircut.
You know what the crummiest feeling you can have is? To hate the person you love the best in the world.
When you're a kid, everything's new, dawn. It's just when you get used to everything that it's day. Like the way you dig sunsets, Pony. That's gold. Keep that way, it's a good way to be.

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. It could be just the other way around - half of the hoods I know are pretty...
That was the first time I realized the extent of Johnny's hero-worship for Dally Winston. Of all of us, Dally was the one I liked least. He didn't have Soda's understanding or dash, or Two-Bit's humor...
