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

Sting
Sooner or later we learn to throw the past away, history will teach us nothing.
Sting
I went off to fight some battle that I'd invented inside me.
Sting
I miss England. I miss the weather. I've spent moss of the last 25 years on tour. I'm ready to come home.
Sting
What might save us, me and you, is if the Russians love their children too.
Sting
If you make your living writing, and you can't write anything, it's over. It's very frightening.
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
When there's no information and the compass turns to nowhere that you know well, let your soul be your pilot.
Sting
