Quotes 

• Olivia Walton : [after John Boy has read her a poem for her birthday]  John Boy, those words were just like listenin' to music.

  [pauses] 

  Olivia Walton : I don't really understand what the poem meant, but I think those were just about the most beautiful words I ever heard.

  John 'John Boy' Walton Jr. : Well, I think the poem has a meaning, um, to me, it means that some things which may seem too simple, or unimportant, or even just downright plain, those things are really every bit as important and every bit as beautiful as the most magnificent things in the whole world.
