The Separation (1973)

Earl Hamner Jr.: The Narrator

Quotes 

• Narrator : [narration as John 'John Boy' Walton, Jr. reading from his journal]  Whenever I think back on Waltons Mountain and about my family, I remember mostly the feeling of love and a happiness we all shared. But, though the mountain never changed, there were times, rare times, when those we thought the closest found themselves at odds. It happens in all families, I suppose, and it happened one day in ours.

• Narrator : [as John Boy writing in his journal after the barn dance]  We are all dancers. In each of us there is a need to move to the beat of music, to circle, to tempt, to embrace, and finally to move together in pairs. And when all else of 1934 is forgotten, I will still treasure this house, this year, and this night.
