More quotes by Bono
It's not a coincidence that in the Scriptures, poverty is mentioned more than 2,100 times. It's not an accident. That's a lot of air time, 2,100 mentions.
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
There was a moment when Prince did rock & roll with a sponge-y seductive sound. I think that's what was in our head for 'Get On Your Boots.' But actually, the song is much more punk rock.
Bono
In my view, the only thing worse than a rock star is a rock star with a conscience.
Bono
Where you live in the world should not determine whether you live in the world.
Bono
Smack in the centre of contradiction is the place to be.
Bono
If I don't understand it, it must be art.
Bono
I get to hear the really good or the really bad things in the press, but I don't read it. I can afford to say that because public opinion does not drive U2's audience.
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
The less you know, the more you believe.
Bono
In my dream, I was drowning my sorrows But my sorrows they learned to swim
Bono
Whenever I see grace, I’m moved.
Bono
Because you know when you first become famous, you start walking a little different because people are staring at you.
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
Particularly conservative Christians, I was very angry that they were not involved more in the AIDS emergency.
Bono
Actually oddly enough, I think my work, the activism, will be forgotten. And I hope it will. Because I hope those problems will have gone away.
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
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
I put Catholic guilt to work pretty good for a rich rock star.
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
