“Are the details of our lives who we are, or is it owning those details that makes the difference?”
“I write because the lives of all of us are stories. If enough of those stories are told, then perhaps we will begin to see that our lives are the same story. The differences are merely in the details.”
“We think in generalities, but we live in detail. To make the past live, we must perceive it in detail in addition to thinking of it in generalities.”
“It's the little details in life that make all the difference.”
“Details make perfection, and perfection is not a detail.”
“Emotions are the sums created by details, whether those details are true or not.”
