More quotes by Charles Kuralt
It takes an earthquake to remind us that we walk on the crust of an unfinished planet.
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
It's best to leap into something you know you love. You might change your mind later, but that is the privilege of youth.

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.

Since my retirement, I've spent a lot of time trying to help the School of Social Work at the University of North Carolina. A society like this just can't afford an uneducated underclass of citizens.
Charles Kuralt
Rivers run through our history and folklore, and link us as a people.... We are a nation rich in rivers.
Charles Kuralt
Just by luck, I picked good heroes to worship.
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 all those people I did stories about measured their own success by the joy their work was giving them.
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 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 had a little insight into life that most kids probably didn't have. My mother was a schoolteacher, and my father was a social worker. Through his eyes I saw the underside of society.
Charles Kuralt
What you need for breakfast, they say in East Tennessee, is a jug of good corn liquor, a thick steak and a hound dog. Then you feed the steak to the dog.
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.
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.
