Rivers run through our history and folklore, and link us as a people.... We are a nation rich in rivers.
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
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 believe that writing is derivative. I think good writing comes from good reading.
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.
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 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
The reality of any place is what its people remember of it.
Charles Kuralt
Most of those old settlers told it like it was, rough and rocky. They named their towns Rimrock, Rough Rock, Round Rock, and Wide Ruins, Skull Valley, Bitter Springs, Wolf Hole, Tombstone. It's a tough country. The names of Arizona towns tell you all you need to know.
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
My parents encouraged me in everything I ever wanted to do.
Charles Kuralt
My mother, at least twice, cancelled our family's subscription to the newspaper I was working on, because she was so mad about its treatment of my father.
Charles Kuralt
A true Southerner will never say in 2-3 words what can better be said in 10-12.
Charles Kuralt
Just by luck, I picked good heroes to worship.
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
You know, most reporters can't go back to the towns they wrote stories about. I never wrote that kind of story.
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 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 don't know what makes a good feature story. I've always assumed that if it was a story that interested or amused me, that it would have the same impact on other people.
Charles Kuralt
What I learned on the road. Above all else - to love my native land.
