Sting
If you make your living writing, and you can't write anything, it's over. It's very frightening.
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
Yoga introduced me to a style of meditation. The only meditation I would have done before would be in the writing of songs.
Sting

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
Intellectually I'm probably a Republican.
Sting
Men go crazy in congregation. They only get better one by one.
Sting
I don't like singing before noon.
Sting
Sooner or later we learn to throw the past away, history will teach us nothing.
Sting
