More quotes by Bono
Smack in the centre of contradiction is the place to be.
Bono
I put Catholic guilt to work pretty good for a rich rock star.
Bono
Happy the country that lives on nothing but its wits cursed be the one that thinks it can get rich by planting or digging or drilling for wealth.
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
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
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
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
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
I wish to begin again on a daily basis. To be born again every day is something that I try to do. And I'm deadly serious about that.
Bono
If I don't understand it, it must be art.
Bono
But more than anything else, for the British folks Irish people were all terrorists. So when we went to Britain, it was always a lot of resistance to U2. And that's why we came to America.
Bono
The extraction of oil, coal and minerals brought, and still brings, a cost to the environment.
Bono
In my dream, I was drowning my sorrows But my sorrows they learned to swim
Bono
God's Spirit moves through us and the world at a pace that can never be constricted by any one religious paradigm.
Bono
There's no retirement for an artist,its your way of living so theres no end to it.
Bono
My understanding of the Scriptures has been made simple by the person of Christ.
Bono
My heroes are the ones who survived doing it wrong, who made mistakes, but recovered from them.
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
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
