Quote by S.E Hinton

“pg.1- “I have light brown, almost red hair and greenish-grey eyes. I wish they were more grey, because I hate most guys that have green eyes, but I have to be content with what I have." pg ?- "Can you see the sunset real good from the west side?" She blinked, startled, then smiled. "Real good." "You can see it from the east side, too," I said quietly. "Thanks, Ponyboy." She smiled through her tears. "You dig okay." She had green eyes. I went on, walking home slowly.”

“Me senté y cogí la pluma y estuve un minuto pensando. Recordando. Recordando a un chaval guapo, moreno, de sonrisa inquieta y temperamento caliente. A un chico rudo y cabezota, con un cigarro en la boca y una sonrisa amarga en su cara endurecida. Recordando -y esta vez no me dolió- a un quinceañero tranquilo, con pinta de derrotado, al que le hacía falta un buen corte de pelo y cuyos ojos negros tenían una expresión asustadiza. En una semana los tres habían desaparecido.”

“In heist movies, there's always a montage of scenes where the caper crew rehearses for the big day. The greaser person practices maneuvering through a mock laser beam field made up of string. The driver races through obstacle courses, back alleys, and dark city streets. The hacker pounds on her keyboard, staring at screens full of code. The gadget person demonstrates all their clever toys. The key master practices opening a safe. The muscle finds a few security guards to knock unconscious and wrestles guard dogs to the ground. The inside person seduces or befriends the target and gets them to spill their secrets. And the leader organizes it all with the help of her second-in-command. At least, that's the way it works in the movies. In real life, with a bunch of newbs who are scraping by with low-paying jobs, inflexible hours, difficult bosses, and a bunch of side gigs to make ends meet, just organizing a rehearsal heist was one hell of a task.”

“De repente no era algo personal, mío. Me imaginé a cientos y cientos de chicos que vivían en el lado chungo de cada ciudad, chicos de ojos negros que se asustaban de su propia sombra. Cientos de chicos que quizá mirasen las puestas de sol y las estrellas y que deseasen con todas sus fuerzas algo mejor. Pude ver a chicos que se ponían debajo de una farola porque eran malos y duros y odiaban el mundo, y era demasiado tarde para decirles que aún quedaban en ellos cosas buenas, y que no te creerían si lo hicieras. Era un problema demasiado vasto para ser una cuestión personal. Tendría que haber alguna ayuda, alguien debería decírselo antes de que fuera demasiado tarde. Alguien debería contar la historia desde su punto de vista, y quizás entonces la gente lo entendería, y no serían tan ligeros a la hora de juzgar a un chico sólo por la cantidad de gomina que lleve.”

“No one taught me to be Native American. My mother taught me that I was, but she did not have the context for what that heritage meant. My grandmother mentioned it very little, even though it was visible in her features. Yet from my earliest memories, being Native has always been an integral part of my identity. Even though I was raised far from my tribe, far from any tribe, I heard the drumbeat of our traditions in my heart. My name is Leah Kallen Myers. I am the last member of the Jamestown S'Klallam Tribe in my family line.”
