Famous quotes containing the word detail:
“all to no end save beauty
the eternal
So in detail they, the crowd,
are beautiful”
—William Carlos Williams (18831963)
“Art, it seems to me, should simplify. That, indeed, is very nearly the whole of the higher artistic process; finding what conventions of form and what detail one can do without and yet preserve the spirit of the wholeso that all that one has suppressed and cut away is there to the readers consciousness as much as if it were in type on the page.”
—Willa Cather (18731947)
