“Listen, kiddo, when Darry hollers at you… he don’t mean nothin’. He’s just got more worries than somebody his age ought to. Don’t take him serious…you dig, Pony?”
“I don’t know. It’s just … I can’t stand to hear y’all fight. Sometimes … I just have to get out or … it’s like I’m the middleman in a tug o’war and I’m being split in half. You dig?”
“I am a greaser,” Sodapop chanted. “I am a JD and a hood. I blacken the name of our fair city. I beat up people. I rob gas stations. I am a menace to society. Man, do I have fun.”

“You don’t ever think,” Darry broke in, “not at home or anywhere when it counts.”
“I reckon it never occurred to you that your brothers might be worrying their heads off and afraid to call the police because something like that could get you two thrown in a boy’s home so quick it’d make your head spin.”
“Maybe you can be a little neater, huh, little buddy?”
“You’re living in a vacuum, Pony, and you’re going to have to cut it out. Johnny and Dallas were our buddies, too, but you don’t just stop living because you lose someone.”

"Hate to tell you this, buddy, but you have to wear clothes to work. There's a law or something."
-
"What do you think, man? You think it makes me look tough?"
"Don't worry, Ponyboy, they don't do that to heroes. Hey, where is Soda and Super-dope, anyhow?"

"Stay gold, Ponyboy, stay gold."
“Well I won’t. But I gotta do something. It seems like there’s gotta be someplace without greasers or Socs, with just people. Plain, ordinary people.”

"You! Look, Greaser, we got four more of us in the backseat."
"You can't win. You know that, don't you? It doesn't matter if you whip us, you'll still be where you were before, at the bottom. And we'll still be the lucky ones at the top with all the breaks. It doesn't matter. Greasers will still be Greasers and Socs will still be Socs. It doesn't matter."
"Look, that doesn't mean you can go walkin' the streets with these bums."
