More quotes by Sting
Great music as much about the space in between the notes as it is about the notes themselves.
Sting
If you love someone, set them free.
Sting
I can't fly a flag for monogamy or whatever the opposite is it depends on the person and on the situation.
Sting
If I were a Brazilian without land or money or the means to feed my children, I would be burning the rain forest too.
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 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
I don't think happiness is necessarily the reason we're here. I think we're here to learn and evolve, and the pursuit of knowledge is what alleviates the pain of being human.
Sting
I don't like singing before noon.
Sting
I feel this music has nurtured me as I've been immersing myself in it. I've felt supported by it.
Sting

Sting
Takes more than combat gear to make a man Takes more than a license for a gun Confront your enemies, avoid them when you can A gentleman will walk but never run
Sting
I never saw no miracle of science that did not go from a blessing to a curse.
Sting
Like Yoga, the spiritual life is actually very difficult.
Sting
I think I mentioned to Bob [Geldof] I could make love for eight hours. What I didn't say was that this included four hours of begging and then dinner and a movie.
Sting
I think you can get the wrong impression about me from my work and think I'm always a bit down. I'm not that way at all. I'm fun-loving.
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 never saw no military solution That didn't always end up as something worse
Sting
The acceptance of death gives you more of a stake in life, in living life happily, as it should be lived. Living for the moment.
Sting
My friends are Peter Gabriel, Bruce Springsteen, and we're singing about mortality, getting older. It's an interesting time.
Sting
That sense of failure, I don't know where people put it who don't write songs and aren't able to emote physically. It must go somewhere.
Sting
