More quotes by 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
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
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
You know, God has some really weird kids, and I find it hard to be in their company most of the time.
Bono
There is a root arrogance in any writer a hugely arrogant assumption that anyone is going to listen to them.
Bono
When people say, you know, 'Good teacher,' 'Prophet,' 'Really nice guy'... this is not how Jesus thought of Himself. So you're left with a challenge in that, which is either Jesus was who he said he was or a complete and utter nut case. You have to make a choice on that.
Bono
We thought that we had the answers, it was the questions we had wrong.
Bono
Every age has its massive moral blind spots. We might not see them, but our children will.
Bono
Particularly conservative Christians, I was very angry that they were not involved more in the AIDS emergency.
Bono
Stop asking God to bless what you're doing. Find out what God's doing. It's already blessed.
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
I used to - my earliest memory of waking up with a melody in my head was, you know, 8, 9, 10. I've always heard kind of melodies in my head.
Bono
Perspective is the cure for depression.
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
I'm never nervous when I go to meet heads of state. I feel they should be nervous, because they are the ones who'll be held accountable for the lives their decisions will impact the most.
Bono
Sometimes religion gets in the way of God.
Bono
Laughter is eternity if joy is real.
Bono
Where you live in the world should not determine whether you live in the world.
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
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
