Rock stars are good at making noise.

Bono

God is in the cries heard under the rubble of war. God is in the debris of wasted opportunity and lives, and God is with us if we are with them.

God is so big. It’s a gigantic concept in God.

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

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.

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.

The right to be irresponsible and stupid is something I hold very dear. And luckily it is something I do well.
