Episode Quotes

Season 1 / Episode 11: - The Literary Man

Narrator: [narration as John 'John Boy' Walton, Jr. reading from his journal] Growing up on Waltons Mountain in those Depression years when times were lean and money was scarce I learned early that hard work was a central fact of life and a key to survival. I wasn't afraid of work but, above everything else, I wanted to be a writer. Gripping a book, reading and re-reading the wonderfully colored sentences... this was as close as I could get to another writer; until, one afternoon, I met someone who showed me the way I must take to be a literary man.

Olivia Walton: [Jim Bob says he doesn't feel well] His forehead feels clammy. I wonder what it is.
'Grandma' Esther Walton: Well, it's too late for spring fever and too early for summer doldrums. I'll brew him some tea.
