More quotes by Charles Kuralt
That was the overwhelming thing to me, the joy of carrying my portable typewriter to an event and trying to describe it.
Charles Kuralt
I can't say that I've changed anybody's life, ever, and that's the real work of the world, if you want a better society.
Charles Kuralt
The reality of any place is what its people remember of it.
Charles Kuralt
I gained a great appreciation for what I would call the collective achievement of the country. I began thinking of America as a much more just and humane place than I would have thought if I'd been covering the civil rights struggle.
Charles Kuralt
You can't travel the back roads very long without discovering a multitude of gentle people doing good for others with no expectation of gain or recognition. The everyday kindness of the back roads more than makes up for the acts of greed in the headlines. Some people out there spend their whole lives selflessly.
Charles Kuralt
When we become a really mature, grown-up, wise society, we will put teachers at the center of the community, where they belong. We don't honor them enough, we don't pay them enough.

Charles Kuralt
Rivers run through our history and folklore, and link us as a people.... We are a nation rich in rivers.

I remember being in the public library and my jaw just aching as I looked around at all those books I wanted to read. There just wasn't time enough to read everything I wanted to read.
Charles Kuralt
It's that enthusiasm, that passion for what you're doing, that is most important.
Charles Kuralt
It does no harm just once in a while to acknowledge that the whole country isn't in flames, that there are people in the country besides politicians, entertainers, and criminals.
Charles Kuralt
What I learned on the road. Above all else - to love my native land.
Charles Kuralt
You never heard anybody ask 'Elvis who?'
Charles Kuralt
I believe that writing is derivative. I think good writing comes from good reading.
Charles Kuralt
I saw how many people were poor and how many kids my age went to school hungry in the morning, which I don't think most of my contemporaries in racially segregated schools in the South thought very much about at the time.
Charles Kuralt
I much preferred the peaceful life on the road, where I didn't have to ask embarrassing questions and do all the things real reporters have to do.
Charles Kuralt
The first books I was interested in were all about baseball. But I can't think of one single book that changed my life in any way.
Charles Kuralt
In television, everything is gone with the speed of light, literally. It is no field for anybody with intimations of immortality.
Charles Kuralt
It was so much fun to have the freedom to wander America, with no assignments. For 25 or 30 years I never had an assignment. These were all stories I wanted to do myself.
