Convictions, in the end, they can be dangerous, but a world without them is just kind of an awful kind of gray, amorphous mass.

More quotes by Bono
Laughter is eternity if joy is real.
Bono
It's quite widespread in rock culture, that mythology of the shooting star. I'd rather be the North star. As bob (Dylan) says, you can navigate by it.
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
If I don't understand it, it must be art.
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
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
At the heart of the Irish economy has always been the philosophy of tax competitiveness. On the cranky left, that is very annoying I can see that.
Bono
When you align yourself with God's purpose as described in the Scriptures, something special happens to your life.
Bono
As a rock star, I have two instincts, I want to have fun, and I want to change the world. I have a chance to do both.
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
Where you live in the world should not determine whether you live in the world.
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
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
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
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
The extraction of oil, coal and minerals brought, and still brings, a cost to the environment.
Bono
God's Spirit moves through us and the world at a pace that can never be constricted by any one religious paradigm.
Bono
Smack in the centre of contradiction is the place to be.
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
