Quotes for Thought, Part 1
You cannot announce your intentions or reveal them directly in words. Instead you must throw your targets off the scent. To surrender to your guidance they must be appropriately confused. You have to scramble your signals–appear interested in another man or woman (the decoy), then hint at being interested in the target, then feign indifference, on and on. Such patterns not only confuse, they excite. – Robert Greene, Law 3 “Conceal Your Intentions,” The 48 Laws of Power
