More quotes by Sting
I think the time is right for yoga, we really are living in a very complex time - a time of great turmoil and change. Yoga is a good antidote to all that...It is almost like music in a way there's no end to it.
Sting
I don't need to manufacture trauma in my life to be creative. I have a big enough reservoir of sadness or emotional trauma to last me.
Sting
I hate most of what constitutes rock music, which is basically middle-aged crap.
Sting
Our politicians, they all seemed like game show hosts to me.
Sting
I went off to fight some battle that I'd invented inside me.
Sting
I come from a family of losers, and I've rejected my family as something I don't want to be like.
Sting
I always stayed fit because I'm a performer, and all of those things help me to perform.
Sting
There is no monopoly on common sense on either side of the political fence.
Sting
Yoga is almost like music in a way there's no end to it.
Sting
Security in human systems we're told will always, always last. Emotions are the sail, and blind faith is the mast. Without the breath of real freedom we're getting nowhere fast.
Sting
Success always necessitates a degree of ruthlessness. Given the choice of friendship or success, I'd probably choose success.
Sting
It has very little to do with my work, but if your image is not sexy enough, people won't listen. It's part of the game.
Sting
A gentleman will walk but never run.. it takes a man to suffer ignorance and smile.. be yourself no matter what they say.
Sting
When there's no information and the compass turns to nowhere that you know well, let your soul be your pilot.
Sting
I don't drink coffee I take tea my dear, I like my toast done on one side. And you can hear it in my accent when I talk, I'm an Englishman in New York. See me walking down Fifth Avenue, a walking cane here at my side. I take it everywhere I walk, I'm an Englishman in New York. I'm an alien I'm a legal alien, I'm an Englishman in New York.
Sting
Peter Townshend shows us it's all right to grow up. There is dignity after rock'n'roll.
Sting
Convince an enemy, convince him that he's wrong. To win a bloodless battle, the victory is long. A simple act of faith, reason over might. To blow up his children would only prove him right.
Sting
My logic's been drowned in a sea of emotion.
Sting
My comfortable existence is reduced to a shallow meaningless party.
Sting
Men go crazy in congregation. They only get better one by one.
Sting
