If you're consumed only with the big dream, you're going to die because you won't be able to feed yourself or you're going to be losing your job, so you'll just be sitting in your room dreaming, but if you're only holding onto the crap jobs that keep you just above of the water you're going to be unhappy. You're going to be burnt out, washed out.
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
A lot of the things that involve power on the highest levels sometimes involve the darker side of human psychology.

There's this world that exists that nobody writes about or describes it's like a dirty little secret or taboo.
Robert Greene
All masters want to appear more brilliant than other people.
