My children have made me more aggressive about the world
that they're about to inhabit.

My heroes are the ones who survived doing it wrong,
who made mistakes, but recovered from them.

Distance does not decide who is your brother and who is not.
- Bono

The right to be irresponsible is a right I hold dear.
- Bono

To be one, to be united is a great thing.
But to respect the right to be different is maybe even greater.
- Bono

Objectivity is the cure for depression.
- Bono

Love interrupts, if you like,
the consequences of your actions,
which in my case is very good news indeed,

The more you see the less you know.
- Bono

To carry each other is not a burden at all
but a kind of privilege.
- Bono

God's Spirit moves through us and the world
at a pace that can never be constricted
by any one religious paradigm.
I love that.

Grace defies reason and logic.

You hold onto religion, you know,
rules, regulations, traditions.

- Bono

I'm not on this trip as a tourist.
- Bono

This is our moment, this is our time.

We thought that we had the answers,
it was the questions we had wrong.

Stop asking God to bless what you're doing.
Get involved in what God is doing -

The more you know the less you feel.
- Bono

I'm a very loyal and unreliable friend.

The world is more malleable than you think

Don't lie down. Get up.
- Bono

Religion often gets in the way of God.
- Bono

I am still amazed at how big, how enormous
a love and mystery God is -
and how small are the minds
that attempt to corral
this life force into rules and taboos,
cults and sects.
- Bono

Books! I dunno if I ever told you this,
but books are the greatest gift one person can give another.
- Bono

Music can change the world because it can change people.

It's hard to believe, hard to be a believer,
when you see the way the things are in the world.
But I am a believer!

There are righteous people working
in a whole rainbow of belief systems -
from Hasidic Jews to right-wing Bible Belters
to charismatic Catholics.

The Spirit is described in the Holy Scriptures
as much more anarchic than any established religion credits.

It's religion I'm doubting.

you have to be raw;

are rotting when I listen to the radio.

The less you know, the more you believe.

As a rock star, I have two instincts,
I want to have fun, and I want to change the world.
I have a chance to do both.
- Bono

Feelings are much stronger than thoughts.
We are all led by instinct,
and our intellect catches up later.
- Bono

People should be angry about a lot of things
and the peace-and-love thing
doesn't sit comfortably with me at all.
- Bono

Rock 'n' roll is ridiculous. It's absurd.
In the past, U2 was trying to duck that.
Now we're wrapping our arms around it and giving it a great big kiss.
- Bono

I come from Ireland and I've seen the damage of religious warfare.
I am a believer. I don't wear the badge on the outside
but it is on the inside.
- Bono

We can, if we get up off our ass, change the world.
- Bono

U2 is an original species...
there are colors and feelings and emotional terrain
that we occupy that is ours and ours alone.
- Bono

Everywhere I look, I see the evidence of a creator.
But I don't see it as religion,
which has cut Irish people in two.
I don't see Jesus Christ as being
in any part of a religion.
Religion to me is almost like when God leaves -
and people devise a set of rules to fill the space.
- Bono

I'm actually starting to like more and more people
who have convictions that are unpopular.
Now at what point does an unpopular conviction
interfere with your own human rights?
Forced female circumcision, for instance.
The Catholic Church's stance on contraception.
The list goes on. You know, God has some really weird kids,
and I find it hard to be in their company most of the time.
- Bono

It is not work that kills men; it is worry.
Worry is rust upon the blade.

The tongue like a sharp knife...
Kills without drawing blood.

Anger is a killing thing:
it kills the man who angers,
for each rage leaves him less than he had been before -
it takes something from him.

Bigotry tries to keep truth safe in its hand
with a grip that kills it.
- Rabindranath Tagore

It's not what you don't know that kills you,
it's what you know for sure that ain't true.
- Mark Twain

There is nothing more dreadful than the habit of doubt.
Doubt separates people.
It is a poison that disintegrates
friendships and breaks up pleasant relations.
It is a thorn that irritates and hurts;
it is a sword that kills.
- The Buddha

What kills a skunk is the publicity it gives itself.
- Abraham Lincoln

Every optimist moves along with progress and hastens it,
while every pessimist would keep the worlds at a standstill.
The consequence of pessimism in the life of a nation
is the same as in the life of the individual.
Pessimism kills the instinct that
urges men to struggle against poverty,
ignorance and crime, and dries up
all the fountains of joy in the world.
- Helen Keller

A friend is someone who knows all about you,
and loves you just the same.
