Rock 'n' roll is ridiculous. It's absurd. In the past, U2 was trying to duck that. Now we're wrapping our arms around it and giving it a great big kiss.

More quotes by Bono
Smack in the centre of contradiction is the place to be.
Bono
If I don't understand it, it must be art.
Bono
Africa is a continent in flames. And deep down, if we really accepted that Africans were equal to us, we would all do more to put the fire out. We're standing around with watering cans, when what we really need is the fire brigade.
Bono
Stop asking God to bless what you're doing. Find out what God's doing. It's already blessed.
Bono
It's so sweet, I feel like my teeth are rotting when I listen to the radio.
Bono
In my dream, I was drowning my sorrows But my sorrows they learned to swim
Bono
The human heart is greedy it will use religion, color, or any other excuse to justify its greed. Blame the human heart.
Bono
Music can change the world because it can change people.
Bono
It's still very difficult for me to rely. Your weakness, the blessing of your weakness is it forces you into friendships. The things that you lack, you look for in others.
Bono
Laughter is eternity if joy is real.
Bono
Hanging out with politicians and corporations is very unhip work. But I think that the U2 audience have turned out to be incredibly subtle in their understanding.
Bono
The less you know, the more you believe.
Bono
You see, Africa makes a fool of our idea of justice. It makes a farce of our idea of equality. It mocks our pieties. It doubts our concern. It questions our commitment. Because there is no way we can look at what's happening in Africa, and if we're honest, conclude that it would ever be allowed to happen anywhere else.
Bono
U2 was involved in Live Aid, and I ended up going to Ethiopia and working there for some time with my wife, Ali.
Bono
I put Catholic guilt to work pretty good for a rich rock star.
Bono
Distance does not decide who is your brother and who is not. The church is going to have to become the conscience of the free market if it's to have any meaning in this world - and stop being its apologist.
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
God's Spirit moves through us and the world at a pace that can never be constricted by any one religious paradigm.
Bono
It's much easier to be successful than it is to be relevant. The tricks won't keep you relevant. Tricks might keep you popular for a while, but in all honesty, I don't know how U2 will stay relevant. I know we've got a future. I know we can fill stadiums. And yet with every record, I think, 'Is this it? Are we still relevant?'
Bono
Facts, like people, want to be free - and when they're free, liberty is usually around the corner.
