Day Quotes

Lines on routine, duty and the shape of an ordinary day.

It's a constant, continuous, spectacular world we live in, and every day you see things that just knock you out, if you pay attention.

Quotes by Robert Grosseteste

Quotes by Robert Gibbs

I only eat one meal a day. Lunch, not dinner.

Quotes by Robert Goulet

Quotes by Robert Fulghum

To this day, I still think Lonesome Dove is my best part.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the theme connecting the quotes on this Day page?
The quotes gathered here touch on daily life and routine from different angles - one speaker reflects on being held accountable "twenty-four hours a day," and another describes the routine of a scene-by-scene read-through happening the day before filming, giving the page a loose, everyday-life throughline. For quotes centered specifically on daily routines, see Day-To-Day Life.
Do these quotes come from a specific field or background?
They span a few different worlds - one is a personal reflection on skin and diet changes since college, another discusses accountability among those serving in Iraq, and two more describe the day-to-day realities of working on film and TV sets.
Is there a quote here about filmmaking routines specifically?
Yes, one entry describes not having "the luxury of rehearsal time on most films," explaining that a scene-by-scene read-through often happens just before shooting rather than well in advance.
What about quotes touching on imagination or escaping routine?
This page focuses more on grounded daily-life reflections, so if you're looking for quotes about mentally drifting away from the day-to-day, Daydream quotes might be a better fit.
How is this different from the Daybreak or Daylight pages?
This page's quotes are reflections tied to daily routine and experience in general, rather than the specific moment of morning or sunrise - for that, Daybreak and Daylight are the more focused pages.

Other related pages include our Daybreak quotes for morning-themed lines and Daydream quotes for something more imaginative.
