More quotes by Bono
There is a root arrogance in any writer a hugely arrogant assumption that anyone is going to listen to them.
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
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
When you align yourself with God's purpose as described in the Scriptures, something special happens to your life.
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
But more than anything else, for the British folks Irish people were all terrorists. So when we went to Britain, it was always a lot of resistance to U2. And that's why we came to America.
Bono
Every age has its massive moral blind spots. We might not see them, but our children will.
Bono
You see, Africa makes a fool of our idea of justice. It makes a farce of our idea of equality. It mocks our pieties. It doubts our concern. It questions our commitment. Because there is no way we can look at what's happening in Africa, and if we're honest, conclude that it would ever be allowed to happen anywhere else.
Bono
Anyone that's involved in development has discovered that all the good work that's been done in development has been undone by the AIDS emergency.
Bono
Facts, like people, want to be free - and when they're free, liberty is usually around the corner.
Bono
It's so sweet, I feel like my teeth are rotting when I listen to the radio.
Bono
I wouldn't run for President. I wouldn't want to move to a smaller house.
Bono
The less you know, the more you believe.
Bono
Because you know when you first become famous, you start walking a little different because people are staring at you.
Bono
It's stasis that kills you off in the end, not ambition.
Bono
My understanding of the Scriptures has been made simple by the person of Christ.
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
Religion can be the enemy of God. It's often what happens when God, like Elvis, has left the building.
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 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
