More quotes by Bono
If I don't understand it, it must be art.
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
Facts, like people, want to be free - and when they're free, liberty is usually around the corner.
Bono
Rock stars are good at making noise.
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
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
Whenever I see grace, I’m moved.
Bono
There's no retirement for an artist,its your way of living so theres no end to it.
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
It's so sweet, I feel like my teeth are rotting when I listen to the radio.
Bono
You know, God has some really weird kids, and I find it hard to be in their company most of the time.
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
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
God's Spirit moves through us and the world at a pace that can never be constricted by any one religious paradigm.
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
Convictions, in the end, they can be dangerous, but a world without them is just kind of an awful kind of gray, amorphous mass.
Bono
In my dream, I was drowning my sorrows But my sorrows they learned to swim
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
U2 was involved in Live Aid, and I ended up going to Ethiopia and working there for some time with my wife, Ali.
Bono
Perspective is the cure for depression.
