Great teaching - just plain old knock 'em dead, get it right, make 'em laugh, make 'em wonder instruction - is always going to be rare. Good teachers abound. Great ones are special.

From Robert Krulwich

Cezanne produced precarious little worlds that almost, almost, almost lose their balance but somehow hold themselves together, creating tension, beauty and danger all at once.

From Robert Krulwich

If I were king of the world, babies born in airplanes, balloons and blimps would, instead of choosing to be German, Maldivian or American, all get special heavenly blue passports with a stork on the cover labeled 'Sky Baby' - and they'd be allowed to come and go anywhere they please.

From Robert Krulwich

I am fascinated by storytelling glue. Anytime I see someone who's good at it, I stop and wonder, 'How'd they 'do this? Why can't I tear myself away?

From Robert Krulwich

The more borders we have, the more quarrels, the more wars. That's one way to think about borders - they're trouble.

From Robert Krulwich

When you go to the theater, you are slipping out of your life into someone else's imaginary world.

From Robert Krulwich

From Robert Krulwich

What happens if you are the last (the very, very last) of your species, and you die - and humans notice?

Its finality becomes a thing to honor.

From Robert Krulwich

When I was a teenager, I loved political conventions.

From Robert Krulwich

Journalism doesn't have to be your first love... or your only love. You can come to it in desperation, because you can't think of anything better to do with your life, that it's this or the abyss. But once you get going... it helps if you love it.
