More quotes by Bob Geldof
It strikes me as being morally repulsive and intellectually absurd that people die of want in a world of surplus.
Bob Geldof
It went beyond idealism and that ridiculous term activism, which basically means talking about something but doing nothing. . . . We made giving exciting.
Bob Geldof
And part of that is, what is the point of having children if you don't have the privilege of bringing them up?
Bob Geldof
But if somebody dies, if something happens to you, there is a normal process of depression, it is part of being human, and some people view it as a learning experience etc.
Bob Geldof
Divorce is a by-product of the fact that maybe the nuclear unit is gone.
Bob Geldof
It's a tragedy that modernity has released this Ebola beast into the world. It renders humans untouchable, and that's sickening. The international response so far has been scandalous. China has delivered f**k all.
Bob Geldof
Music is what I must do, business is what I need to do and politics is what I have to do
Bob Geldof
We're looking at the singular condition of poverty. All the other individual problems spring from that condition... doesn't matter if it's death, aid, trade, AIDS, famine, instability, governance, corruption or war. All of that is poverty. Our problem is that everybody tries to heal each of the individual aspects of poverty, not poverty itself.
Bob Geldof
Irish Americans are no more Irish than Black Americans are Africans.
Bob Geldof
And whereas women had to fight to find their way into the workforce, men are now fighting to reclaim their place in the family structure.
Bob Geldof
Men who are not given any voice in this because of the secret nature of the courts, what they're left with is dressing up ridiculously, but at least using humour to try and draw attention to their kids
Bob Geldof
It's really very simple, Governor. When people are hungry they die. So spare me your politics and tell me what you need and how you're going to get it to these people.
Bob Geldof
Feed the world. Let them know it's Christmas time again.
Bob Geldof
Tell me why...... I don't like Mondays.
Bob Geldof
When I hit 11 so did the careers of Dylan and the Stones. A year later it was the Who and the Kinks.
Bob Geldof
You can't trust politicians. It doesn't matter who makes a political speech. It's all lies - and it applies to any rock star who wants to make a political speech as well.
Bob Geldof
You'll think I'm off my trolley when I say this, but the Bush administration is the most radical - in a positive sense - in its approach to Africa since Kennedy.
Bob Geldof
Actually, today I had to defend the Bush Administration in France again. They refuse to accept, because of their political ideology, that he has actually done more than any American President for Africa. But it's empirically so.
Bob Geldof
They thought they were Mick Jagger and Jerry Hall. In fact, they were more like Tom and Jerry
Bob Geldof
So when I got to 50 I just thought, Hold on: I'm thin. I've got my hair. I'm well off. I survived, you know
