More quotes by Robert Greene
There's a real tension between it being a collaborative art process, which is almost like performance art of yourself, and, as we talk about the movie, it's kind of a mix between melodrama and cinéma vérité. This involves ideas about playing the role of yourself and the movie of your life and all these other things.
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
If you love music and it requires hours of practice that can be boring, you can survive the boredom, you're not going to love it but you can survive the boredom because you're connected to something that excites you.
Robert Greene
Our natural tendency is to project onto other people our own belief and value systems, in ways in which we are not even aware.
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
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
Weep not, my wanton, smile upon my kneeWhen thou art old there's grief enough for thee.
Robert Greene
Remember: The best deceivers do everything they can to cloak their roguish qualities. They cultivate an air of honesty in one area to disguise their dishonesty in others. Honesty is merely another decoy in their arsenal of weapons.
Robert Greene
Most people are perpetually locked in the present. Their decisions are overly influenced by the most immediate event they easily become emotional and ascribe greater significance to a problem than it should have in reality.
Robert Greene
The pyramid would start at the bottom: you don't know who you are or what you're intended to do in life. And so, the X factor - the ingredient that will make you powerful, that will make you successful is your energy and drive and your tenacity. If you've got that, there's nothing in the world that's going to stop you.
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
There are people that don't need to run towards adversity. They grew up in circumstances where it's forced upon them. Other people lead, pushier lives. So there are all kinds of forms of adversity in the world.
Robert Greene
You have the power to think differently about who you are. You have the ability to turn off the critical voice inside of you. That's not you. That's coming from the culture. That's coming from the outside of you. You've internalized the voice of your parents, your teachers, your friends.
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
I have examples of people who find their way back later on in life, in their 30's, 40's, it can happen in your 50's, I'm sure it can. It's not really a science. It's maybe more of an art.
Robert Greene
It's sometimes hard to talk about politics and art. Obviously, I have my core beliefs, but I think art is best when it's troublesome and pushes against stuff.
Robert Greene
Everybody wants power and control in their life.
Robert Greene
When there are no other options, people fight harder. If the choice is life or death they have nothing to lose.
Robert Greene
Win through your actions, never through argument.
Robert Greene
One could draw up all different kinds of adversity depending on what your weakness is.
