More quotes by 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
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

Bono

Bono
When a nation is over-reliant on one or two commodities like oil or precious minerals, corrupt government ministers and their dodgy associates hoard profits and taxes instead of properly allocating them to schools and hospitals.
Bono
It's stasis that kills you off in the end, not ambition.
Bono
In my dream, I was drowning my sorrows But my sorrows they learned to swim
Bono
If I don't understand it, it must be art.
Bono
We thought that we had the answers, it was the questions we had wrong.
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
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
Because you know when you first become famous, you start walking a little different because people are staring at you.
Bono
In my view, the only thing worse than a rock star is a rock star with a conscience.
Bono
