I also have only the line quartz-wm & at the end of .xinitrc. It make
sense.
X11 and quartz-wm are up without any terminal or program. I then start
X11 applications via Terminal.app.

No. The last line of your .xinirc must be:
exec quartz-wm
It doesn't make any sense to continue X11 if your window manager dies.
You won't be able to do anything!
If you want other things to start, add them ahead of that with
a background ampersand, like
xterm &
and so on.
I seem to need to say this about once a week or so. It's amazing how
much stuff is "cargo-culted" around X11, rather than being derived
from first principles. It's like ".emacs" files and ".cshrc" setups.
