Robert Greene Quotes

A Natural Response When People Feel Overwhelmed Is To Retreat Into Various Forms Of Passivity. If We Don't Try Too Much In Life, If We Limit Our Circle Of Action, We Can Give Ourselves The Illusion Of Control. The Less We Attempt, The Less Chances Of Failure. If We Can Make It Look Like We Are Not Really Responsible For Our Fate, For What Happens To Us In Life, Then Our Apparent Powerlessness Is More Palatable.
