Remember that the truth is in the details. No matter how you see the world or what style it imposes on your work as an artist, the truth is in the details. Of course the devil's there, too-everyone says so-but maybe truth and the devil are words for the same thing. It could be you know.

Stephen King

I've heard it said that God is in the details. It's the same with the truth. Leave out the details, the crucial heart, and you can damn someone with the bare bones of it.

Libba Bray

The detail adds an element of unexpected something. All fiction is false; what makes it convincing is that it runs alongside the truth. The real world has lots of incidental details, so a painting also has to have that element of imperfection and irregularity, those incidental details.

Shaun Tan

The truth of the story lies in the details.

Paul Auster

With a keen eye for details, one truth prevails!

Gosho Aoyama

There are details within details within details to anchor you in the fact that we are talking about the real world, not an illustrated children's book fantasy world.

Joe Rohde

Movies are details. Movies are billions of details that come into a certain moment. So with all the years and months and weeks and days and minutes of preparation, then finally you're shooting and it all comes down to these moments when you're shooting, which is sort of insane when you think about it. The details make a difference.

Annette Bening

I think the most important thing journalism taught me is to mine for details. The details are key. You can't try to be funny or strange or poignant; you have to let the details be funny or strange or poignant for you.

Karen Abbott

Women notice details that most men don't. They notice if your belt and shoes match. They notice what kinds of foods you like to eat. They notice all the details, then make assumptions about every other area of your life based on these details.

Eben Pagan

Emotions are the sums created by details, whether those details are true or not.

Terry Goodkind

Are the details of our lives who we are, or is it owning those details that makes the difference?

Mary E. Pearson

There's a tendency at the senior and middle-manager level to be too big-picturish and too superficial. There is a phrase, "The devil is in the details." One can formulate brilliant global strategies whose executability is zero. It's only through familiarity with details - the capability of the individuals who have to execute, the marketplace, the timing - that a good strategy emerges. I like to work from details to big pictures.

Andy Grove

It is one of the ironies of biographical art that some details are more relevant than others, and many details have no relevance at all.

Paul Bailey

The details are details. They make the product. The connections, the connections, the connections. It will in the end be these details that give the product its life.
