More quotes by Sting
I come from a family of losers, and I've rejected my family as something I don't want to be like.
Sting
Takes more than combat boots to make a man.
Sting
I can't really change my life to accommodate people who are jealous. I don't see why I should.
Sting
The world is ruled by butterflies adding to their weapon piles. Imagine what your taxes buy. We hardly ever try.
Sting
I never saw no military solution That didn't always end up as something worse
Sting
I see music as one language. If one musical form eats its own tail, it dies. So it needs to be a mongrel, it needs to be hybridised.
Sting
I've been the lowest low on the planet, I've been a sinner all my days. And I was living with my hands on the trigger, I had no sense to change my ways.
Sting
I've spent a bit of time with the Prince of Wales, who I respect greatly. I'd give two cheers for the Monarchy.
Sting
The Super Bowl is Americana at its most kitsch and fun.
Sting
My comfortable existence is reduced to a shallow meaningless party.
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
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 can't fly a flag for monogamy or whatever the opposite is it depends on the person and on the situation.
Sting
A lot of people approach risk as if it's the enemy when it's really fortune's accomplice.
Sting
Yoga introduced me to a style of meditation. The only meditation I would have done before would be in the writing of songs.
Sting
For to sit in a room full of books, and remember the stories they told you, and to know precisely where each one is located and what was happening in your life at time or where you were when you first read it is the languid and distilled pleasure of the connoisseur.
Sting
I never saw no miracle of science that did not go from a blessing to a curse.
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
If you love someone, set them free.
Sting
Peter Townshend shows us it's all right to grow up. There is dignity after rock'n'roll.
Sting
