BONOThe less you know, the more you believe.
BONOFacts, like people, want to be free – and when they’re free, liberty is usually around the corner.
BONOI felt rich when I was 20 years old and my wife was paying my bills. Just being in a band, I’ve always felt blessed.
BONOWe thought that we had the answers, it was the questions we had wrong.
BONOIf 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.
BONOEveryone’s got one but some are blacker and wider than others. It’s a feeling of being abandoned,cut adrift in space and time-sometimes following the loss of a loved one.
BONOI 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.
BONOI’m as skeptical as anyone would be about celebrities and causes – and I will dare to say to you that I don’t think of myself as a celebrity per se.
BONOStop asking God to bless what you’re doing. Find out what God’s doing. It’s already blessed.
BONOLaughter is eternity if joy is real.
BONOThere’s no retirement for an artist,its your way of living so theres no end to it.
BONOI have been working for Africans since I was 18, when I got involved with the Nelson Mandela concerts. I got involved with debt cancellation because Desmond Tutu demanded that the world respond to that situation.
BONOIt’s stasis that kills you off in the end, not ambition.
BONODistance 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.
BONOI think carrying moral baggage is very dangerous for an artist. If you have a duty, it’s to be true and not cover up the cracks.
