What's good for me is certainly not good for other people.
Robert Greene
I also make movies that can be seen on a small screen, as I shoot on digital video. Hopefully they can be seen small and can live like 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
I've always loved black culture I don't know any other way to put it. Since I was a kid I loved music and early jazz, Sly and the Family Stone.
Robert Greene
You must bear in mind that each law is circumstantial. It does depend on the circumstances.
Robert Greene
When it comes to fertility, there are so may things that have to go right. In any one individual, there might be one major problem and two minor ones or no major ones and seven minor ones. Throw in another person's physiology, and it's complicated. I try to give people the knowledge that they can make as many changes as they want.
Robert Greene
No moment is wasted if you pay attention and learn the lessons contained in every experience.
Robert Greene
Real action and true helpfulness are perhaps the ultimate charm.
Robert Greene
Still uncertain as to our identity, we think that what matters in the work world is gaining attention and making friends. And these misconceptions and naïveté are brutally exposed in the light of the real world.
Robert Greene
For the future, the motto is, No days unalert.
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
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
There are things that you study, classes you've taken, activities you've done that feel right, that feel like they're in your power zone. So it doesn't take incredible amount of effort for you to do it - it just comes more naturally to you.
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
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
Deception is a developed art of civilization and the most potent weapon in the game of power
Robert Greene
Fear creates its own self-fulfilling dynamic- as people give into it, they lose energy and momentum. Their lack of confidence translates into inaction that lowers confidence levels even further, on and on.
Robert Greene
I find the training of the mind that Zen puts people through is by far to me, the most interesting, one of the most interesting disciplines.
Robert Greene
On woman Nature did bestow two eyes, Like Hemian's bright lamps, in matchless beauty shining, Whose beams do soonest captivate the wise And wary heads, made rare by art's refining.
Robert Greene
It looks like I had the most irrelevant education than anybody in the planet could have.
Robert Greene
