The challenging of repression by a new generation of activists - from Malala Yousafzai to Pussy Riot - across the globe reminded us how many women are still fighting for basic human rights. Our great-grandmothers' struggle in all its shocking detail seemed so relevant.

My writing style is very sensual, as in sensory detail

The artist should fear to become the slave of detail.

I love seeing original cartoons. You get to see the artist's corrections, like erasures or Wite-Out or patches, and you get to see the artist's line in better detail, and what kind of ink they use - whether they like a cold black or a warm black, and what kind of paper they like, how big or small they like to draw - art nerd stuff like that.

What is the history of mighty kingdoms and nations, but a detail of the ravages and cruelties of the powerful over the weak?
Abigail Adams
Image
the full analysis of the notions of saying something and understanding what one said inevitably involves a concept which, as I will show in detail, essentially corresponds to the Cartesian idea of thought.
Zeno Vendler

Man is not committed in detail by his biological constitution to any particular variety of behavior.
Ruth Benedict
Image
What helps luck is a habit of watching for opportunities, of having a patient but restless mind, of sacrificing one's ease or vanity, or uniting a love of detail to foresight, and of passing through hard times bravely and cheerfully.

I've managed to include only enough historical detail to give the flavor of the time period while keeping the characters and story focal.
Julie Klassen

The footnote would seem to be the smallest detail in a work of history. Yet it carries a large burden of responsibility, testifying to the validity of the work, the integrity (and the humility) of the historian, and to the dignity of the discipline.

The biggest pitfall to avoid is not writing. Not writing is really, really easy to do, especially if you're a young writer. The hope that elves will come in the night and finish it for you, is a very common one to have. That is my main recommendation - you have to write, and you have to finish what you write and beyond that, it's all detail.
Neil Gaiman
Image
Young people who were relaxed about posting every detail of their life on Facebook become a lot less relaxed when they realise just how transparent their life has become to future employers.
Geoff Mulgan
Image
A man's accomplishments in life are the cumulative effect of his attention to detail.
John Foster Dulles
Image
Well, you know, with every character, if you're going to expose yourself, you've got to figure out every detail that you're going to play. So there's no character that you can just go put on his shirt and be fully prepared.
Albert Brooks

Aristocratic depression has this cosmic dimension to it, where it's asking these big questions about, Why? What is the purpose of all this? Neuroses of the middle class is the banishment of aristocratic depression, because it's kind of this obsession with quotidian detail that pushes these larger questions away.
Lawrence Douglas
Image
Sometimes when you start losing detail, whether it's in music or in life, something as small as failing to be polite, you start to lose substance.
Benny Goodman
Image
Whatever man feels deeply or images clearly, is impressed upon the subconscious mind, and carried out in minutest detail.

Bobbie Ann Mason's genius only grows stronger and wiser and funnier with every new book, and Zigzagging Down a Wild Trail is my absolute favorite so far. What an ear she has for the telling phrase, what an eye for the heartbreaking detail. These new stories are stunning.
Josephine Humphreys

I always plan the whole story in some detail, long before I start writing the actual thing. But even doing that, I find that there is plenty of room for spontaneity. Often the characters will lead the story off in a direction I hadn't originally intended!
Raymond Buckland
Image
Without knowing every single detail in a man's life, we cannot judge whether he is a good person or not!
Mehmet Murat Ildan
Image
I don't talk about my personal life in great detail. I write about it in my songs, and I feel like you can share enough about your life in your music to let people know what you're going through.
Taylor Swift
Image
Going far beyond that call of duty, doing more than others expect, this is what excellence is all about! And it comes from striving, maintaining the highest standards, looking after the smallest detail, and going the extra mile. Excellence means doing your very best. In everything! In every way.
Jack Johnson
Image
It's reached this point where people are fascinated by every intricate detail of other people's lives. And some people are willing to give up their lives like that.
Sienna Miller

There's a perception that novels can't usually allow for your kind of absolute attention to detail.
