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.

You can find your way across this country using burger joints the way a navigator uses stars.
Charles Kuralt
The everyday kindness of the back roads more than makes up for the acts of greed in the headlines.
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
I would love to write something that people would still read 50 or 100 years from now. That comes with growing older, I think.

The love of family and the admiration of friends is much more important than wealth and privilege.

I have spent a good part of my life looking for the perfect barbecue. There is no point in looking in places like Texas, where they put some kind of ketchup on beef and call it barbecue. Barbecue is pork, which narrows the search to the South, and if it's really good pork barbecue you are looking for, to North Carolina.

I think all those people I did stories about measured their own success by the joy their work was giving them.

A country so rich that it can send people to the moon still has hundreds of thousands of its citizens who can't read. That's terribly troubling to me.
Charles Kuralt
I don't think one should ever come to my stage of life and have to look back and say, Gosh. I wish I hadn't spent all those years doing that job I was never really interested in.
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
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
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
My parents encouraged me in everything I ever wanted to do.

The reality of any place is what its people remember of it.
Charles Kuralt
I wasn't a very discriminating reader. I read just about everything that came along.
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
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.
