Robert Greene Quotes

People who are outwardly distant or shy are often better targets than extroverts. They are dying to be drawn out, and still waters run deep.

In a society where the roles everyone plays are obvious, the refusal to conform to any standard will excite interest. Be both masculine and feminine, impudent and charming, subtle and outrageous. Let other people worry about being socially acceptable; those types are a dime a dozen, and you are after a power greater than they can imagine.

Always make those above you feel comfortably superior.
