Quotes by Paul Morley  (?)

“We say we love flowers, yet we pluck them. We say we love trees, yet we cut them down. And people still wonder why some are afraid when told they are loved.”
Paul Morley

“It's barely changed since the faceless colour committee originally selected it in 1908 when the first map of the Underground was designed and the Bakerloo conclusively became brown, a very early twentieth-century brown, which brings something of the nineteenth century with it - the colour of Sherlock Holmes's pipe, a Gladstone bag, a grandfather clock.”
Paul Morley, Earthbound: The Bakerloo Line

“Pessimists can be such bores, and it's lazy to believe the worst.”
Paul Morley, The North
