More quotes by Charles Kuralt
I could tell you which writer's rhythms I am imitating. It's not exactly plagiarism, it's falling in love with good language and trying to imitate it.

The reality of any place is what its people remember of it.
Charles Kuralt
You never heard anybody ask 'Elvis who?'

I had a tight stomach all the time. I actually developed ulcers. I've learned better than to put all that internal pressure on myself.
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

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
The love of family and the admiration of friends is much more important than wealth and privilege.
Charles Kuralt
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.
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
You can find your way across this country using burger joints the way a navigator uses stars.
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.
Charles Kuralt
