Yes. Here are a few short direct quotes from Dally Winston in The Outsiders:

“Shoot, my old man don't give a hang whether I'm in jail or dead.”
“You get tough like me and you don't get hurt.”
“Ponyboy, I ain't mad at you.”
“Johnny... don't die. Please don't die.”
“You're livin' in a vacuum, Pony.”

Dally's dialogue often shows his tough exterior, loyalty to Johnny, and deep emotional struggles beneath the surface.

If you're looking for quotes about a specific theme (loyalty, toughness, Johnny, fighting, or his death scene), I can help find the most relevant ones.
