You can never completely fill that hole-you can try with songs,family,faith and by living a full life…but when things are silent, you can still hear the hissing of what’s missing.

BONOThe great moments of rock ‘n’ roll were never off in some corner of the music world, in a self-constructed ghetto.
BONOIt’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.
BONOBooks! I dunno if I ever told you this, but books are the greatest gift one person can give another.
BONOIn my view, the only thing worse than a rock star is a rock star with a conscience.
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.
BONOGod is so big. It’s a gigantic concept in God.
BONOTo be one, to be united is a great thing. But to respect the right to be different is maybe even greater.
BONOWhat I like about pop music, and why I’m still attracted to it, is that in the end it becomes our folk music.
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.
BONOThe 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.
BONOLaughter is eternity if joy is real.
BONOI will admit that we are attracted to issues that unify people rather than divide them.
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.
BONOMusic fills in for words a lot of the time when people don’t know what to say, and I think music can be more eloquent than words.
BONOIt’s much easier to be successful than it is to be relevant. The tricks won’t keep you relevant. Tricks might keep you popular for a while, but in all honesty,
