“Subtlety and indirection are important tools, but you can't scale the highest peaks with these tools alone.”
― Brian Morton, Starting Out in the Evening

“To sit across the table and talk with someone you love is itself a complex engagement, with an exhaustingly subtle flow of information; to go to bed with someone--to carry your conversation into the realm of the body, a realm of insecurity and fear as well as pleasure--was always fraught with the sad evidence of how difficult it is to understand another person and make yourself understood.”
― Brian Morton, Starting Out in the Evening

“What matters, finally, isn't finding the kind of person you think you should
love. What matters is finding someone you feel more alive with.”
― Brian Morton, Starting Out in the Evening

“The moments of beauty, the moments when you feel blessed, are only moments; but memory and imagination, treasuring them, can string them together... Everything else passes away; that which you love remains.”
― Brian Morton, Starting Out in the Evening
