More quotes by Sting
Without the breath of real freedom we're getting nowhere fast.
Sting
Men go crazy in congregation. They only get better one by one.
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
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 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 have been through various fitness regimes. I used to run about five miles a day and I did aerobics for a while.
Sting
I made two movies before The Police had a hit record: I did Quadrophenia and a film called Radio On.
Sting
Success always necessitates a degree of ruthlessness. Given the choice of friendship or success, I'd probably choose success.
Sting
If you love someone, set them free.
Sting
I try to give the media as many confusing images as I can to retain my freedom. What's real is for my children and the people I live with.
Sting
Peter Townshend shows us it's all right to grow up. There is dignity after rock'n'roll.
Sting
I feel this music has nurtured me as I've been immersing myself in it. I've felt supported by it.
Sting
At night a candle's brighter than the sun
Sting
I never saw no miracle of science that did not go from a blessing to a curse.
Sting
Takes more than combat boots to make a man.
Sting
What might save us, me and you, is if the Russians love their children too.
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 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 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 went off to fight some battle that I'd invented inside me.
Sting
