More quotes by 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.

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.

Rivers run through our history and folklore, and link us as a people.... We are a nation rich in rivers.

I believe that writing is derivative. I think good writing comes from good reading.
Charles Kuralt
That was the overwhelming thing to me, the joy of carrying my portable typewriter to an event and trying to describe it.

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.

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
I think all those people I did stories about measured their own success by the joy their work was giving them.
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
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
It's that enthusiasm, that passion for what you're doing, that is most important.
Charles Kuralt
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 never heard anybody ask 'Elvis who?'

You can find your way across this country using burger joints the way a navigator uses stars.
Charles Kuralt
What I learned on the road. Above all else - to love my native land.

I wasn't a very discriminating reader. I read just about everything that came along.
