More quotes by Charles Kuralt
I had a tight stomach all the time. I actually developed ulcers. I've learned better than to put all that internal pressure on myself.
Charles Kuralt
I would love to write something that people would still read 50 or 100 years from now. That comes with growing older, I think.
Charles Kuralt
I think I'd have done better if I had been a little more relaxed-if I had not pressed quite so hard, if I'd not lost quite so much sleep.
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 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
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

Charles Kuralt
What I learned on the road. Above all else - to love my native land.
Charles Kuralt
The everyday kindness of the back roads more than makes up for the acts of greed in the headlines.
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
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
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
When I worked in Los Angeles covering hard news, very often when something important would happen I'd be off in the woods covering something unimportant, which was more interesting to me.
Charles Kuralt
It's best to leap into something you know you love. You might change your mind later, but that is the privilege of youth.
Charles Kuralt
I think the feature reporter often walks a very thin line between a truly human story and one that slops over into mushiness or sentimentality.
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
When I was a little boy I used to borrow my father's hat, and make a press card to stick in the hat band. That was the way reporters were always portrayed in the movies.
