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.

I think what happened with Brandy [Burre]is what happens with a lot of people. You make these decisions for comfort and stability, and then eventually those same things that are comforting and stable end up putting walls around you that you didn't expect.
Robert Greene
Then grew a wrinkle on fair Venus' brow, The amber sweet of love is turn'd to gall! Gloomy was Heaven bright Phoebus did avow He would be coy, and would not love at all Swearing no greater mischief could be wrought, Than love united to a jealous thought.
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
Everybody wants power and control in their life.

The problem is that we humans are deep conformists.
Robert Greene
It's fortunately a kind of society we live in where we can be diverse. People can take different paths and not feel like they're doing something wrong.
Robert Greene
A lot of the things that involve power on the highest levels sometimes involve the darker side of human psychology. People can be very passive aggressive or they can be aggressive and they can conceal their intentions.

If you're only ten feet above, then you're better than when you're on the ground.
Robert Greene
It is the fool who always rushes to take sides. Do not commit to any side or cause by yourself. By maintaining your independence, you become the master of others — playing people against one another, making them pursue you.
Robert Greene
It's okay to be lost in college.
Robert Greene
I'm afraid I'm just too intense to have soft ideas, you know, about what to read when you're trying to pass the time.
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
Many a serious thinker has been produced in prisons, where we have nothing to do but think.
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 think the homeless thing is very interesting and I think is an incredible exercise.
Robert Greene
Ah Franion, treason is loved of many, but the Traitor hated of all: unjust offences may for a time escape without danger, but never without revenge.
Robert Greene
If you are worried about what others might think and about how your position in the group might be jeopardized, then you will never really create anything.
Robert Greene
Only create associations with positive affinities. Make this a rule of life and you will benefit more than from all the therapy in the world.
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
All masters want to appear more brilliant than other people.
