More quotes by Bono
I wouldn't run for President. I wouldn't want to move to a smaller house.
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
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
Religion can be the enemy of God. It's often what happens when God, like Elvis, has left the building.
Bono
It's stasis that kills you off in the end, not ambition.
Bono
My heroes are the ones who survived doing it wrong, who made mistakes, but recovered from them.
Bono
There is a root arrogance in any writer a hugely arrogant assumption that anyone is going to listen to them.
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
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
I do see the good in people, but I also see the bad --- I see it in myself. I know what I'm capable of. Good and bad. It's very imnportant that we make that clear. Just because I often find a way around the darkness doesn't mean tjat I don't know it's there. (Bono)
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
When a nation is over-reliant on one or two commodities like oil or precious minerals, corrupt government ministers and their dodgy associates hoard profits and taxes instead of properly allocating them to schools and hospitals.
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
When you align yourself with God's purpose as described in the Scriptures, something special happens to your life.
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
You've got to watch the politics of AIDS. The politics of AIDS can work both for and against the victims of AIDS.
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
I'm a singer, not a politician, and I think you don't want the two to get confused. It's not OK to be on CNN talking about people starving and then tell the interviewer that your new album is coming out in six months.
Bono
Smack in the centre of contradiction is the place to be.
Bono
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.
Bono
