IN the intricate dance of life's details, there is a common saying that warns of the devil lurking in the specifics. The phrase 'The devil is in the details' has echoed through time, cautioning us about the potential pitfalls hidden in the minutiae of our lives. This idiomatic phrase is often attributed to the German-American architect Ludwig Mies Van Der Rohe.

However, some grammatists believe it was a 'misinterpretation' or misattribution as it is said to have come from the old German proverb 'Der liebe Gott steckt im detail,' which translates to 'The good Lord is in the details' or 'God is in the details.'
