"I don't know what it was that bent your life out of shape, but who knows? Maybe I've been there too. Maybe I can help. We could work together. I could rehabilitate you. You needn't be out there on the edge anymore. You needn't be alone. We don't have to kill each other. What do you say?" — Batman: The Killing Joke

Stay gold, Ponyboy

Three simple words... A whole lot of heartbreak.
SPOILERS FOR THE OUTSIDERS
What is remarkable about this quote (and not only because it was Johnny's last words to Pony and I've never cried harder in my life), but it is a direct contrast to the original line "Nothing Gold Can Stay." The poem talks about how beauty, youth, and life fades over time. The golden times, the golden things cannot stay. And here is Johnny, telling Pony two things: one is that Pony is gold. Pony is pure, precious, beautiful even, and that he is a joy in life. Two, he tells Pony to stay. To stay gold. To not let the despair of his death get him down. To continue smiling, looking at the sunsets, and being himself. He is telling Pony "Stay you, Ponyboy. Stay the amazing, pure, wholesome you. Don't let the bad things bring you down."

Stay gold, everyone.
