My heroes are the ones who survived doing it wrong, who made mistakes, but recovered from them.
From Bono
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?
The great moments of rock 'n' roll were never off in some corner of the music world, in a self-constructed ghetto.
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.
Religion can be the enemy of God. It's often what happens when God, like Elvis, has left the building.
When people say, you know, 'Good teacher,' 'Prophet,' 'Really nice guy'... this is not how Jesus thought of Himself. So you're left with a challenge in that, which is either Jesus was who he said he was or a complete and utter nut case. You have to make a choice on that.
I 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.
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.
Mandela's heroism is the heroism of a man who suffered so badly for what he thought of as freedom. And yet when he had the upper hand he has this incredible self-control and these incredible leadership qualities.
My understanding of the Scriptures has been made simple by the person of Christ. Christ teaches that God is love.
