Quotes
Narrator: [narration as John 'John Boy' Walton, Jr. reading from his journal] As my grandfather used to say, "everybody looks at the world through his own knothole". My brothers and sisters and I, and the two cousins who came to live with us, were all brought up in the same house and in pretty much the same way. But the world looked a little bit different to each of us, and there was a day, a beautiful, bright, sunny day, but it looked very bleak to my brother, Ben, and even bleaker to my cousin, Jeffrey.
