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.
BONOSadly, 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.
BONOI truly believe that when the history books are written, our age will be remembered for three things: the war on terror, the digital revolution, and what we did – or did not do – to put the fire out in Africa. History, like God, is watching what we do.
BONOGod 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.
BONOAfrica is a continent in flames. And deep down, if we really accepted that Africans were equal to us, we would all do more to put the fire out. We’re standing around with watering cans, when what we really need is the fire brigade.
BONOEvery artist is a cannibal/every poet is a thief/all kill for inspiration/and then sing about the grief.
BONOHappy 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.
BONOU2 is an original species… there are colours and feelings and emotional terrain that we occupy that is ours and ours alone.
BONOFacts, like people, want to be free – and when they’re free, liberty is usually around the corner.
BONOYou’ve got to watch the politics of AIDS. The politics of AIDS can work both for and against the victims of AIDS.
BONOEssentially, I’m a very real person; good and bad. And the public image is one of being very good,
BONOGod is so big. It’s a gigantic concept in God.
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.
BONOThe right to be irresponsible and stupid is something I hold very dear. And luckily it is something I do well.
BONOU2 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.
BONOThe extraction of oil, coal and minerals brought, and still brings, a cost to the environment.
BONOMarriage is this grand madness, and I think if people knew that, they would perhaps take it more seriously.
