Religion can be the enemy of God. It's often what happens when God, like Elvis, has left the building.
Bono
Image
I love America and I hate it. I'm torn between the two. I have two conflicting visions of America. One is a kind of dream landscape and the other is a kind of black comedy.
Bono
Image
In my view, the only thing worse than a rock star is a rock star with a conscience.
Bono
Image
Every artist is a cannibal/every poet is a thief/all kill for inspiration/and then sing about the grief.
Bono
Image
Poverty breeds despair. We know this. Despair breeds violence. We know this. In turbulent times, isn't it cheaper, and smarter, to make friends out of potential enemies than to defend yourself against them later?
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.

God's Spirit moves through us and the world at a pace that can never be constricted by any one religious paradigm.
Bono
Image
Music can change the world because it can change people.
Bono
Image
U2 is sort of song writing by accident really. We don't really know what we're doing and when we do, it doesn't seem to help.
Bono
Image
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
Image
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.

There's no retirement for an artist,its your way of living so theres no end to it.

Image
Particularly conservative Christians, I was very angry that they were not involved more in the AIDS emergency.

Convictions, in the end, they can be dangerous, but a world without them is just kind of an awful kind of gray, amorphous mass.
