boys age wish
Sometimes, I feel like I spent the first part of my life wishing to be a teen-age boy, and the second part condemned to being one.
thinking lucky sometimes
Greasers will still be greasers and Socs will still be Socs. Sometimes I think it's the ones in the middle that are really the lucky stiffs.
sunset two outsiders
It seemed funny that the sunset she saw from her patio and the one I saw from the back steps was the same one. Maybe the two worlds we lived in weren’t so different. We saw the same sunset.
trying stuff influence
Anything you read can influence your work, so I try to read good stuff.
writing want advise
I advise writing to oneself. If you don't want to read it, nobody else is going to read it.
people listening stuff
I really do like listening to stuff that's happened to other people. I guess that's why I like to read.
fun men cities
I am a greaser. 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!
differences
The difference is that was then, this is now.
thinking world want
You still have a lot of time to make yourself be what you want. There's still lots of good in the world. Tell Dally. I don't think he knows.

friendship good-friend two-friends
If you have two friends in your lifetime, you're lucky. If you have one good friend, you're more than lucky
truth lying believe
I lie to myself all the time. But I never believe me.
sunset two world
Maybe the two different worlds we lived in weren't so different. We saw the same sunset.
caring people
nothing can wear you out like caring about people
