I'm a good judge of my own work.

I didn't think much about that statement then. But later I would-I still do. I think about it and think about it until I think I'm going crazy.

I learned that if you want to get somewhere, you just make up your mind and work like hell til you get there.

Dally was so real he scared me.

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 decent guys underneath all that grease, and from what I've heard, a lot of Socs are just cold-blooded mean - but people usually go by looks.

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.

Okay greasers,you've had it.
