Quotes by Charles Kuralt

- I suppose I was a little bit of what would be called today a nerd. I didn't have girlfriends, and really I wasn't a very social boy.
- I think all those people I did stories about measured their own success by the joy their work was giving them.
- 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.
