More quotes by Charles Kuralt
I wasn't a very discriminating reader. I read just about everything that came along.
Charles Kuralt
It takes an earthquake to remind us that we walk on the crust of an unfinished planet.
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 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
The everyday kindness of the back roads more than makes up for the acts of greed in the headlines.

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
I can't remember a time when I didn't want to be a reporter. I don't know where I got the idea that it was a romantic calling.
Charles Kuralt
The love of family and the admiration of friends is much more important than wealth and privilege.

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
Rivers run through our history and folklore, and link us as a people.... We are a nation rich in rivers.
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
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
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 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
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
You can find your way across this country using burger joints the way a navigator uses stars.
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.
