Here's a Challenge: Study a complicated topic in such detail that anyone interested can nod their head and understand as you explain specific concepts within the topic.
Albert Einstein
Image
You must be absolutely honest and true in the depicting of a totem for meaning is attached to every line. You must be most particular about detail and proportion.
Emily Carr
Image
The whole experience of being hit by a bullet is very interesting and I think worth describing in detail.
George Orwell
Image
A portrait of the young Charlie Parker with a degree of vivid detail never before approached. . . [Kansas City Lightning is] a deft, virtuosic panorama of early jazz. . . This is a mind-opening, and mind-filling, book.
Tom Piazza

There is space for a different kind of investigative reporting that's about immersion and obsessive attention to detail and deep listening.
Sarah Stillman
Image
Don't go into great detail describing places and things, unless you're ­Margaret Atwood and can paint scenes with language. You don't want descriptions that bring the action, the flow of the story, to a standstill.
Elmore Leonard
Image
The personal was, compared with the tides of great nations, a bothersome detail.
Gregory Benford
Image
Only I could drink a thousand drinks and never forget a damn thing. I would just remember every detail of the thousand drinks down to the shapes of the ice cubes.
David Baldacci
Image
A tiny detail can make you feel completely different. I feel different if I wear something that I'm slightly uncomfortable in.
Yukimi Nagano

A democratic constitution, not supported by democratic institutions in detail, but confined to the central government, not only is not political freedom, but often creates a spirit precisely the reverse, carrying down to the lowest grade in society the desire and ambition of political domination.
John Stuart Mill
Image
Al Gore has dedicated his life to detail. George W. Bush has not. He's the first to admit it.
Peter Jennings
Image
I entirely agree that a historian ought to be precise in detail but unless you take all the characters and circumstances into account, you are reckoning without the facts. The proportions and relations of things are just as much facts as the things themselves.
Dorothy L. Sayers
Image
I don't release many records just as Fennesz, so when I do, I want to plan everything in detail. It's not that I want to really lead the listener somewhere it's more about me being satisfied with a project.
Christian Fennesz
Image
It may seem like I'm overlooking a technical detail or a spec change, but at the end of the day I'm mostly going to be talking about the final result, with a few exceptions.
Marques Brownlee
Image
We think in generalities, but we live in detail.
Alfred North Whitehead
Image
I think that as a playwright, if I detail that environment, then I'm taking away something from them [designers]. I'm taking away their creativity and their ability to have input themselves, not just to follow what the playwright has written. So I do a minimum set description and let the designers create within that.
August Wilson
Image
Don't confuse simple, reasonable honesty with radical silliness. There is no reason to try to articulate blurry feelings or over-explain every detail. The point is to be honest instead of internalizing, not to try to extract juicy confessionals out of everyday life.
Ann Burton
Image
In every detail a city should reflect that human beings are sacred and that they are equal.
Enrique Penalosa
Image
When I get on a plane, I don't want a laid-back pilot. I want a pilot who is a control freak, who is paying attention to every single detail of his job.
Michael Ovitz
Image
With respect to the words general welfare, I have always regarded them as qualified by the detail of powers connected with them. To take them in a literal and unlimited sense would be a metamorphosis of the Constitution into a character which there is a host of proofs was not contemplated by its creators.
James Madison
Image
One does a whole painting for one peach and people think just the opposite - that particular peach is but a detail.
Pablo Picasso
Image
There is a reason cases are tried in a court of law, not in the court of the public and not by the media, because details have to come out in excruciating and minute fashion, detail by detail, bit of evidence by bit of evidence.
Angela Corey
Image
Well, I don’t know if I can comment on Kant or Hegel because I’m no real philosopher in the sense of knowing what these people have said in any detail so let me not comment on that too much.
