More quotes by 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 wouldn't run for President. I wouldn't want to move to a smaller house.
Bono
You've got to watch the politics of AIDS. The politics of AIDS can work both for and against the victims of AIDS.
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
If you pour your life into songs, you want them to be heard. It's a desire to communicate. A deep desire to communicate inspires songwriting.
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
Religion can be the enemy of God. It's often what happens when God, like Elvis, has left the building.
Bono
Every age has its massive moral blind spots. We might not see them, but our children will.
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
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
God is so big. It's a gigantic concept in God. The idea that God might love us and be interested in us is kind of huge and gigantic, but we turn it, because we're small-minded, into this tiny, petty, often greedy version of God, that is religion.
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
The extraction of oil, coal and minerals brought, and still brings, a cost to the environment.
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
Perspective is the cure for depression.
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
My heroes are the ones who survived doing it wrong, who made mistakes, but recovered from them.
Bono
Music can change the world because it can change people.
Bono
When you align yourself with God's purpose as described in the Scriptures, something special happens to your life.
Bono
There is a root arrogance in any writer a hugely arrogant assumption that anyone is going to listen to them.
Bono
