Charles Kuralt Quotes

New York is the true City of Light in any season Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

I don’t have any well-developed philosophy about journalism. Ultimately it is important in a society like this, so people can know about everything that goes wrong Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

I recognize that I had a good deal of good luck in my life. I came along at a time when it was pretty easy to get a job in journalism. I went to work at CBS News when I was about 22, and within a year or so was reporting on the air Picture Quote #1

Kids are always asked, What are you going to be when you grow up? I needed an answer. So instead of saying, a fireman, or a policeman, I said, a reporter Picture Quote #1

The Mississippi River carries the mud of thirty states and two provinces 2,000 miles south to the delta and deposits 500 million tons of it there every year. The business of the Mississippi, which it will accomplish in time, is methodically to transport all of Illinois to the Gulf of Mexico Picture Quote #1

I did stories about unexpected encounters, back roads, small towns and ordinary folk, sometimes doing something a little extraordinary Picture Quote #1

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 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 Picture Quote #1

I was on the high school track team, believe it or not, and played baseball, poorly but passionately Picture Quote #1

It’s that enthusiasm, that passion for what you’re doing, that is most important Picture Quote #1

I don’t have any well-developed philosophy about journalism. Ultimately it is important in a society like this, so people can know about everything that goes wrong Picture Quote #1

There is melancholy in the wind and sorrow in the grass Picture Quote #1
