More quotes by Bono
At the heart of the Irish economy has always been the philosophy of tax competitiveness. On the cranky left, that is very annoying I can see that.
Bono
The great music for so many artists - the Beatles, the Rolling Stones - was always at the moment when they were closest to pop. It would be easy for U2 to go off and have a concept album, but I want us to stay in the pop fray.
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
Hanging out with politicians and corporations is very unhip work. But I think that the U2 audience have turned out to be incredibly subtle in their understanding.
Bono
Perspective is the cure for depression.
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
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
Because you know when you first become famous, you start walking a little different because people are staring at you.
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
Music fills in for words a lot of the time when people don't know what to say, and I think music can be more eloquent than words.
Bono
My heroes are the ones who survived doing it wrong, who made mistakes, but recovered from them.
Bono
Technology is huge I wanted to learn about it. People might say that's odd, but I think it's odd if artists aren't interested in the world around them. I'm always chasing that.
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
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
My understanding of the Scriptures has been made simple by the person of Christ.
Bono
If I don't understand it, it must be art.
Bono
Laughter is eternity if joy is real.
Bono
You know, God has some really weird kids, and I find it hard to be in their company most of the time.
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
