Quote by Stephen King

He was in that mostly empty-headed state of grace which is sometimes such fertile soil ; it's the ground from which our brightest dreams and biggest ideas (both good and spectacularly bad) suddenly burst forth, often full-blown.

Summary

This quote suggests that there is a state of mind characterized by a lack of excessive thinking or preoccupation with rationality, which can surprisingly bring about great inspiration and creativity. It implies that when one empties their mind of clutter and unnecessary thoughts, they open themselves up to the possibility of having remarkable ideas or visions. These ideas can range from brilliant and beneficial to highly flawed and unsuccessful, but they emerge with great intensity and completeness. This state of grace, this mental empty-headedness, serves as the fertile ground from which extraordinary dreams and concepts sprout forth.

I see young men, my townsmen, whose misfortune it is to have inherited farms, houses, barns, cattle, and farming tools; for these are more easily acquired than got rid of. Better if they had been born in the open pasture and suckled by a wolf, that they might have seen with clearer eyes what field they were called to labor in. Who made them serfs of the soil? Why should they eat their sixty acres, when man is condemned to eat only his peck of dirt? Why should they begin digging their graves as soon as they are born?
