Coming Of Age Novel Quotes

“He had not been sleeping well over Christmas. Actually, he hadn’t been doing anything well over Christmas – eating, sleeping, exercising, talking, looking after himself, laughing, crying… No, he hadn’t really been crying despite all the pain he felt. It was just tearing him up inside, quietly. It was like his insides were being ripped up by an angered tiger.”

“The morning after my mother’s death, I was surprised to see the sunrise. From behind the curtain of my bedroom window I was surprised to see the people leave their homes and begin the day. Downstairs, the hands of the grandfather clock continued to tick, marking each passing hour with a chime that echoed over the black and white chessboard tiles of the front hall. I was surprised to see the mail come at the same time as the day before and, later that evening, the sun set once more as it did since the beginning of time. My mother’s death did not disturb the planets in their courses. And, though everything kept moving like she never existed at all, my world erupted into chaos until the universe swirled around me like a whirlpool of scattering stars.”

“Oh yes, he's seen the black pupils of time's eyes. Two dark drains in a pair of dirty gas station bathroom sinks. The faucet's open and he's gurgling down the pipes, gushing toward whatever tank he's bound to swirl around in for the rest of his life. There's no telling from here if that's a realm of purification or of shit. There's only one way to find out, and that's to ride it all the way down.”

“The memories were strange clingy things like burrs knotted in his hair. He could choose to let them be, he only felt them when he pulled them, and he could pretend they weren't there like positioning his head on a pillow so as not to notice the lumps against his scalp. But amidst the commotion of the parade—a strange cocoon—he recalled things sharply. He had a part in Dam leaving the palace, and ever since that point, his best friend was headed down a dangerous path.”

“This is the fairytale of my life, the mythology of my existence, and, as I only have one story to tell, there is only one way to tell it. You may find it a little melodramatic at moments and you may not like who I was at times. But, princes frequently start out as frogs and, perhaps, by the time I reach my end, you will understand why. And so, as we all must have a beginning, a middle and an end, I will start at the beginning. Once upon a time...”

“Oneirology is the research of dreams. It derives from the Greek, oneiro, meaning dream. The Five Pillars of Dreamscapes is a guide based on initial Oneirologist research from the 1900’s. They will include field experiments introducing the five basic foundations, known as Pillars. These basic Pillars will be needed to begin and maintain lucid dreaming. Pillar One – ANCHOR. Maintain control upon arrival in a shared dream state. Invade and place a marker or anchor to stabilize your placement. Pillar Two – SAILS. Leave a link in both sleeping and dream worlds. Self. Aware. In. Lost. State. Travel freely in both states. Pillar Three – SWIM. Immersion into another dream for control. Invade and manipulate the environment for control in the shared dream. Pillar Four – TEMPO – Time manipulation in the shared dream state. Control perception of time as you create in a shared dream. Pillar Five – MANIFESTATION – Create an avatar in a shared dream to conceal your identity. Hide behind a mask upon dream invasions. Half of the human population has experienced lucid dreaming, when the dreamer can control what happens while asleep. Being aware of your consciousness while in a lucid dream is a form of metacognition. The Five Pillars outlined in this book will improve your awareness of your awareness while dreaming. These basic steps need to be learned and mastered to better interpret dream metacognition. The Fifth Pillar, MANIFESTATION, might be the most important to create over time. Every shared dream will require you to hide your identity behind a mask. The mask will eventually be your Avatar to protect you in the dream world. Start now on what you would like to become and have your avatar ready upon completion of this guide. Safe Travels, Amaury Armond”
