Bono | marriage
Marriage is this grand madness, and I think if people knew that, they would perhaps take it more seriously.

Bono | hope
Actually oddly enough, I think my work, the activism, will be forgotten. And I hope it will. Because I hope those problems will have gone away.
Bono | great
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 | government
When a nation is over-reliant on one or two commodities like oil or precious minerals, corrupt government ministers and their dodgy associates hoard profits and taxes instead of properly allocating them to schools and hospitals.
Bono | famous
Because you know when you first become famous, you start walking a little different because people are staring at you.
Bono | equality
So what we’re talking about here is human rights. The right to live like a human. The right to live, period. And what we’re facing in Africa is an unprecedented threat to human dignity and equality.
Bono | equality
You see, Africa makes a fool of our idea of justice. It makes a farce of our idea of equality. It mocks our pieties. It doubts our concern. It questions our commitment. Because there is no way we can look at what’s happening in Africa, and if we’re honest, conclude that it would ever be allowed to happen anywhere else.
Bono | dad
Overcoming my dad telling me that I could never amount to anything is what has made me the megalomaniac that you see today.
Bono | change
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.
