More quotes by Robert Greene
In the future, the great division will be between those who have trained themselves to handle these complexities and those who are overwhelmed by them -- those who can acquire skills and discipline their minds and those who are irrevocably distracted by all the media around them and can enver focus enough to learn.
Robert Greene
Expand your notion of what adversity is.
Robert Greene
Ah! what is love! It is a pretty thing, As sweet unto a shepherd as a king, And sweeter too For kings have cares that wait upon a crown, And cares can make the sweetest love to frown.
Robert Greene
People around you, constantly under the pull of their emotions, change their ideas by the day or by the hour, depending on their mood. You must never assume that what people say or do in a particular moment is a statement of their permanent desires.
Robert Greene
To succeed in the game of power, you have to master your emotions. But even if you succeed in gaining such self-control, you can never control the temperamental dispositions of those around you. And this presents a great danger.
Robert Greene
If marriage isn't something for me, but I like living with someone or being committed, I can choose this other path as long as she's okay with it but I would hardly say that that should be what other people do. Some people want that, that written paper, that commitment and that means something to them. And I don't in the least look down on it.
Robert Greene
The dreamers, those who misread the actual state of affairs and act upon their emotions, are often the source of the greatest mistakes in history-the wars that are not thought out, the disasters that are not foreseen
Robert Greene
In the opening stage of most careers any attention is what you want, any attention is good attention, even if it's bad attention.
Robert Greene
You want attention, you want to grab some of that airspace that exists out there in a world that's very difficult to get it because it's so competitive and to get it for more than a few seconds. Any attention is good and that can be what we would normally consider as bad attention so I wanted to make you aware of that dynamic.
Robert Greene
I have the point that everybody essentially have these unique set of DNA you have. There's something different about you genetically. You are unique is what I am trying to say - the combination of experiences and emotions you have felt are never repeated.
Robert Greene
You must bear in mind that each law is circumstantial. It does depend on the circumstances.
Robert Greene
Only your hearts be frolic, for the time Craves that we taste of naught but jouissance.
Robert Greene
Her lips are roses over-washed with dew, Or like the purple of Narcissus' flower No frost their fair, no wind doth waste their power, But by her breath her beauties to renew.
Robert Greene
Religion is the great balm of existence because it takes us outside ourselves, connects us to something larger
Robert Greene
You can't disengage yourself from that game if you are completely unaware of what people out there might be doing, you're just going to be tripped up, you're going to find yourself continually at a disadvantage.
Robert Greene
I didn't like writing just articles and things. So then I wandered around. I tried my hand at film and television and that was a worse fit because I don't really have a mind for that.
Robert Greene
If you are armed with knowledge, if you are aware that certain dynamics are at play then you have options. You can play defense, you can ignore certain person and take the consequences perhaps with a game plan in mind and it goes on, you've increased your options.
Robert Greene
When someone is not there all the time it gives us space to think about them. Your job in influence and persuasion is to get the other person to think about you or your product without you forcing yourself upon them or without you making them think about you.
Robert Greene
The real poetry and beauty in life comes from an intense relationship with reality in all its aspects. Realism is in fact the ideal we must aspire to, the highest point of human rationality.
Robert Greene
Weep not, my wanton, smile upon my kneeWhen thou art old there's grief enough for thee.
Robert Greene
