More quotes by 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
Obviously there's Netflix, iTunes, and Amazon and all these other outlets. Fake It So Real is now on Fandor, and I think people have actually seen it there, which is fine.
Robert Greene
I exercise a lot and I love it. I'm fine. But you know, I'd like to be alive in ten years, that'd be my first priority.
Robert Greene
Always say less than necessary.
Robert Greene
The time that leads to mastery is dependent on the intensity of our focus.
Robert Greene
For the future, the motto is, No days unalert.

What's good for me is certainly not good for other people.
Robert Greene
Hip-hop has a feeling element, it's not just about knowing music. It's not like classical music or jazz where you can go on raw energy.
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
Do not envy those who seem to be naturally gifted it is often a curse, as such types rarely learn the value of diligence and focus, and they pay for this later in life.
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
One could draw up all different kinds of adversity depending on what your weakness is.
Robert Greene
The whole concept of stage fright is fascinating. Actors get stage fright, but they wouldn't be on the stage in the first place if they just succumbed to it. There's this love/hate relationship with the spotlight.
Robert Greene
If you're only ten feet above, then you're better than when you're on the ground.
Robert Greene
Life goes by very fast. And the worst thing in life that you can have is a job that you hate, that you have no energy in, that you're not creative with and you're not thinking of the future. To me, might as well be dead.
Robert Greene
Some people are a little bit better than others, some people are great, some people are superior. It depends on the level of effort.
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
