More quotes by Bono
Laughter is eternity if joy is real.
Bono
The most powerful idea that's entered the world in the last few thousand years - the idea of grace - is the reason I would like to be a Christian.
Bono
There was a moment when Prince did rock & roll with a sponge-y seductive sound. I think that's what was in our head for 'Get On Your Boots.' But actually, the song is much more punk rock.
Bono
I have been working for Africans since I was 18, when I got involved with the Nelson Mandela concerts. I got involved with debt cancellation because Desmond Tutu demanded that the world respond to that situation.
Bono
God is so big. It's a gigantic concept in God. The idea that God might love us and be interested in us is kind of huge and gigantic, but we turn it, because we're small-minded, into this tiny, petty, often greedy version of God, that is religion.
Bono
So what we're talking about here is human rights. The right to live like a human. The right to live, period. And what we're facing in Africa is an unprecedented threat to human dignity and equality.
Bono
Happy the country that lives on nothing but its wits cursed be the one that thinks it can get rich by planting or digging or drilling for wealth.
Bono
I have learned to interface - what I think would be the contemporary term - with various different lexicons, and people speak very different languages. I've learned to speak in a lot of tongues, and I can live with the bellicose language of some fervent, fire-breathing Christians, sure.
Bono
Technology is huge I wanted to learn about it. People might say that's odd, but I think it's odd if artists aren't interested in the world around them. I'm always chasing that.
Bono
Stop asking God to bless what you're doing. Find out what God's doing. It's already blessed.
Bono
Particularly conservative Christians, I was very angry that they were not involved more in the AIDS emergency.
Bono
Because you know when you first become famous, you start walking a little different because people are staring at you.
Bono
What I like about pop music, and why I'm still attracted to it, is that in the end it becomes our folk music.
Bono
Music fills in for words a lot of the time when people don't know what to say, and I think music can be more eloquent than words.
Bono
Poverty breeds despair. We know this. Despair breeds violence. We know this. In turbulent times, isn't it cheaper, and smarter, to make friends out of potential enemies than to defend yourself against them later?
Bono
I put Catholic guilt to work pretty good for a rich rock star.
Bono
When you truly accept that those children in some far off place in the global village have the same value as you in God's eyes or even in just your eyes, then your life is forever changed you see something that you can't un-see.
Bono
There's no retirement for an artist,its your way of living so theres no end to it.
Bono
The fact is that ours is the first generation that can look disease and extreme poverty in the eye, look across the ocean to Africa, and say this, and mean it. We do not have to stand for this. A whole continent written off - we do not have to stand for this.
Bono
We thought that we had the answers, it was the questions we had wrong.
Bono
