What's a quote that shows a key interaction between Ponyboy and another character of plz thanks

I think that Randy's quote to Pony in chapter 7 defines how society works despite all the rumbles and animosity:

"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. We'll forget it if you win, or if you don't. Greasers will still be greasers and Socs will still be Socs."
