Read this excerpt from The Outsiders.


I was wishing I looked like Paul Newman—he looks tough and I don’t—but I guess my own looks aren’t so bad. I have light-brown, almost-red hair and greenish-gray eyes. I wish they were more gray, because I hate most guys that have green eyes, but I have to be content with what I have.

Be happy with the person you are.

Outside appearance does not matter.

Beauty fades, but character does not.

Dreams come true with hard work.
