Robert Greene
“To succeed in the game of power, you have to master your emotions. But even if you succeed in gaining such self-control, you can never control the temperamental dispositions of those around you. And this presents a great danger.”
Robert Greene, The 48 Laws of Power

Robert Greene
“With our limited senses and consciousness, we only glimpse a small portion of reality. Furthermore, everything in the universe is in a state of constant flux. Simple words and thoughts cannot capture this flux or complexity. The only solution for an enlightened person is to let the mind absorb itself in what it experiences, without having to form a judgment on what it all means. The mind must be able to feel doubt and uncertainty for as long as possible. As it remains in this state and probes deeply into the mysteries of the universe, ideas will come that are more dimensional and real than if we had jumped to conclusions and formed judgments early on.”
Robert Greene, Mastery

Robert M. Pirsig
“The more you look, the more you see.”
Pirsig, Robert M., Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance

Robert Greene
“Be Royal in your Own Fashion: Act like a King to be treated”
Robert Greene, The 48 Laws of Power

Steven Pressfield
“The most pernicious aspect of procrastination is that it can become a habit. We don't just put off our lives today; we put them off till our deathbed.

Never forget: This very moment, we can change our lives. There never was a moment, and never will be, when we are without the power to alter our destiny. This second we can turn the tables on Resistance.

This second, we can sit down and do our work.”
Steven Pressfield, The War of Art
