More quotes by Bono
There's no retirement for an artist,its your way of living so theres no end to it.
Bono
You know, God has some really weird kids, and I find it hard to be in their company most of the time.
Bono
Rock stars are good at making noise.
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
Religion can be the enemy of God. It's often what happens when God, like Elvis, has left the building.
Bono
But with Christ, we have access in a one-to-one relationship, for, as in the Old Testament, it was more one of worship and awe, a vertical relationship. The New Testament, on the other hand, we look across at a Jesus who looks familiar, horizontal. The combination is what makes the Cross.
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
It's not a coincidence that in the Scriptures, poverty is mentioned more than 2,100 times. It's not an accident. That's a lot of air time, 2,100 mentions.
Bono
The great music for so many artists - the Beatles, the Rolling Stones - was always at the moment when they were closest to pop. It would be easy for U2 to go off and have a concept album, but I want us to stay in the pop fray.
Bono
My understanding of the Scriptures has been made simple by the person of Christ.
Bono
It's so sweet, I feel like my teeth are rotting when I listen to the radio.
Bono
I get to hear the really good or the really bad things in the press, but I don't read it. I can afford to say that because public opinion does not drive U2's audience.
Bono
Stop asking God to bless what you're doing. Find out what God's doing. It's already blessed.
Bono
Every age has its massive moral blind spots. We might not see them, but our children will.
Bono
I remember how my mother would bring us to chapel on Sundays... and my father used to wait outside. One of the things that I picked up from my father and my mother was the sense that religion often gets in the way of God. For me, at least, it got in the way.
Bono
Sometimes religion gets in the way of God.
Bono
Smack in the centre of contradiction is the place to be.
Bono
I wouldn't run for President. I wouldn't want to move to a smaller house.
Bono
Every artist is a cannibal/every poet is a thief/all kill for inspiration/and then sing about the grief.
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
