Episode Quotes

Season 1 / Episode 3: - The Calf

Narrator: [narration as John 'John Boy' Walton, Jr. reading from his journal] Waltons Mountain was an everlasting presence in our lives. Whenever I could, when I was growing up there during the Depression years, I would climb its slopes. Up there I could get lost in dreams, dreams of becoming a writer, of becoming a man. I knew no writers, so I had no writer to model myself after; but as a boy aspiring to manhood, I had only to follow the footsteps of a remarkable father.
