...people get hurt in rumbles, maybe killed. I'm sick of it because it doesn't do any good. You can't win...even if you whip us. You'll still be where you were before- at the bottom. And we'll still be the lucky ones with all the breaks. So it doesn't do any good, the fighting and the killing. It doesn't prove a thing.

why do you like fights Darry~Ponyboy He just likes to show off his muscles~Sodapop

It ain't fair that we have all the rough breaks!

Movies can't ruin books. They can only ruin movies.

I made up my mind that I'd get out of that place and I didI learned that if you want to get somewhere, you just make up your mind and work like hell til you get there. If you want to go somewhere in life, you just have to work till you make it.

...but I've never regretted it. You can't regret experience.

Things are rough all over.
