Famous quotes containing the word detail:

    “Ancient history has an air of antiquity. It should be more modern. It is written as if the specator should be thinking of the backside of the picture on the wall, or as if the author expected that the dead would be his readers, and wished to detail to them their own experience.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “Realism: the wealth of detail guarantees the truth of the tale.”
    —Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

    “General scepticism is the live mental attitude of refusing to conclude. It is a permanent torpor of the will, renewing itself in detail towards each successive thesis that offers, and you can no more kill it off by logic than you can kill off obstinacy or practical joking.”
    —William James (1842–1910)
