More quotes by 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
God's Spirit moves through us and the world at a pace that can never be constricted by any one religious paradigm.
Bono
Actually oddly enough, I think my work, the activism, will be forgotten. And I hope it will. Because I hope those problems will have gone away.
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
My heroes are the ones who survived doing it wrong, who made mistakes, but recovered from them.
Bono
Laughter is eternity if joy is real.
Bono
I used to - my earliest memory of waking up with a melody in my head was, you know, 8, 9, 10. I've always heard kind of melodies in my head.
Bono
The less you know, the more you believe.
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

Bono
If I don't understand it, it must be art.
Bono
The extraction of oil, coal and minerals brought, and still brings, a cost to the environment.
Bono
We thought that we had the answers, it was the questions we had wrong.
Bono
When people say, you know, 'Good teacher,' 'Prophet,' 'Really nice guy'... this is not how Jesus thought of Himself. So you're left with a challenge in that, which is either Jesus was who he said he was or a complete and utter nut case. You have to make a choice on that.
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
I love America and I hate it. I'm torn between the two. I have two conflicting visions of America. One is a kind of dream landscape and the other is a kind of black comedy.
Bono
Where you live in the world should not determine whether you live in the world.
Bono
Rock stars are good at making noise.
Bono
I put Catholic guilt to work pretty good for a rich rock star.
Bono
U2 is sort of song writing by accident really. We don't really know what we're doing and when we do, it doesn't seem to help.
Bono
