Whaling was the oil business of its day.

Quotes by Nathan Chen

Quotes by Nathan Englander

Quotes by Natasha Trethewey

My name is Natasha Trethewey, and I was born in Gulfport, Mississippi, in 1966, exactly 100 years to the day that Mississippi celebrated the first Confederate Memorial Day, April 26, 1866.

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.
