More quotes by Bono
In my dream, I was drowning my sorrows But my sorrows they learned to swim
Bono
Laughter is eternity if joy is real.
Bono
Music can change the world because it can change people.
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
It's stasis that kills you off in the end, not ambition.
Bono
Religion can be the enemy of God. It's often what happens when God, like Elvis, has left the building.
Bono
Sadly, I do my homework. I've a soft spot for the boring minutiae. I read the Charter of the United Nations before meeting with Kofi Annan. I read the Meltzer report, and then I'll read C. Fred Bergsten's defense of institutions like the World Bank and the I.M.F. It's embarrassing to admit.
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
When you align yourself with God's purpose as described in the Scriptures, something special happens to your life.
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 fact is that ours is the first generation that can look disease and extreme poverty in the eye, look across the ocean to Africa, and say this, and mean it. We do not have to stand for this. A whole continent written off - we do not have to stand for this.
Bono
There's no retirement for an artist,its your way of living so theres no end to it.
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
Facts, like people, want to be free - and when they're free, liberty is usually around the corner.
Bono
What turns me on about the digital age, what excited me personally, is that you have closed the gap between dreaming and doing. You see, it used to be that if you wanted to make a record of a song, you needed a studio and a producer. Now, you need a laptop.
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
The extraction of oil, coal and minerals brought, and still brings, a cost to the environment.
Bono
Smack in the centre of contradiction is the place to be.
Bono
Particularly conservative Christians, I was very angry that they were not involved more in the AIDS emergency.
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
