There was a silent moment when everything held its breath, and then the sun rose.
There isn't any real good reason for fighting except self-defense.
The difference is that was then, this is now.
That's why we're separated, I said. It's not money, it's feeling--you don't feel anything and we feel too violently.
Race you, I challenged, leaping up. It was a real nice night for a race. The air was clear and cold and so clean it almost sparkled. The moon wasn't out but the stars lit up everything. It was quiet e...
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 a...
Okay greasers, you've had it.
Nature's first green is gold, Her hardest hue to hold. Her early leaf's a flower; But only so an hour. Then leaf subsides to leaf. So Eden sank to grief, So dawn goes down to day. Nothing gold can sta...
