“I've been thinking about it, and that poem, that guy that wrote it, he meant you're gold when you're a kid, like green. When you're a kid everything's new, dawn. It's just when you get used to evreything that it's day. Like the way you dig sunsets, Pony. That's gold. Keep that way, it's a good way to be.I want you to tell Dally to look at one. He'll probably think you're crazy, but ask for me. I don't think he's ever really seen a sunset. And don't be so bugged over being a greaser. 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.

Stay gold, Ponyboy.”
― Susan E. Hinton, The Outsiders

“It's okay. We aren't in the same class. Just don't forget that some of us watch the sunset too.”
― S.E. Hinton, The Outsiders

“It would be a miracle if Dally loved anything. The fight for self-preservation had hardened him beyond caring.”
― S.E. Hinton, The Outsiders

“How could I have ever been ashamed of loving Dante Quintana?”
― Benjamin Alire Sáenz, Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe
