Bono


Irish musician and social activist, who after being nicknamed Bono Vox, became famous as the lead singer of the Irish rock band, U2 using the stage name Bono.
Bono
Africa makes a mockery of what we say, at least what I say, about equality and questions our pieties and our commitments because there's no way to look at what's happening over there and it's effect on all of us and conclude that we actually consider Africans as our equals before God. There is no chance.
Bono quotes
"We used to say, 'They have everything, but it.' We had nothing, but it".
Bono
Bono gives us a vision of how tomorrow can be better than today. He appeals to something greater than ourselves. He tells the story of his life and struggles in terms everyone can understand. He speaks about faith in a way that even a nonbeliever can embrace.




Bono quotes
I don't believe the Devil,I don't believe his book,but the truth is not the same without the lies he made up.
Bono
We're wounded by fear,injured in doubt.I can lose myself,You I can't live without
Bono quotes
There is a continent — Africa — being consumed by flames.
I 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 to — to put the fire out in Africa.
History, like God, is watching what we do.
Bono
Of science and the human heart, there is no limit.
Bono quotes
And though your soul it can't be bought, your mind can wander. I can feel your love teaching me how, how to kneel.
Bono
If I could put it simply, I would say that I believe there's a force of love and logic in the world, a force of love and logic behind the universe. And I believe in the poetic genius of a creator who would choose to express such unfathomable power as a child born in "straw poverty"; i.e., the story of Christ makes sense to me. ... As an artist, I see the poetry of it. It's so brilliant. That this scale of creation, and the unfathomable universe, should describe itself in such vulnerability, as a child. That is mind-blowing to me. I guess that would make me a Christian. Although I don't use the label, because it is so very hard to live up to. I feel like I'm the worst example of it, so I just kinda keep my mouth shut. ... I try to take time out of every day, in prayer and meditation. I feel as at home in a Catholic cathedral as in a revival tent. I also have enormous respect for my friends who are atheists, most of whom are, and the courage it takes not to believe.
Bono
See the stone set in your eyes,see the thorn twist in your side.I wait for you
Bono
I don't believe in rape.But everytime She passes by,wild thoughts escape




Bono quotes
Don't believe in Goldman,His type like a curse.Instant Karma's going to get him if I don't get him first
Bono
You heard me in my tune when I just heard confusion.
Bono quotes
Yesterday, here in Philadelphia, at the Liberty Bell, I met a lot of Americans who do have the will. From arch-religious conservatives to young secular radicals, I just felt an incredible overpowering sense that this was possible. We're calling it the ONE campaign, to put an end to AIDS and extreme poverty in Africa. They believe we can do it, so do I.
Bono
Have you come here for forgiveness? Have you come to raise the dead? Have you come here to play Jesus to the lepers in your head
Bono quotes
Well, here we are, the Irish in America. The Irish have been coming to America for years, going back to the great famine when the Irish were on the run from starvation and a British Government that couldn't care less. Right up to today, you know, there are more Irish immigrants here in America today than ever — some illegal, some legal. A lot of them are just running from high unemployment, some run from the Troubles in Northern Ireland, from the hatred of the H Blocks, torture. Others from wild acts of terrorism like we had today in a town called Enniskillen, where eleven people lie dead, and many more injured, on a Sunday Bloody Sunday.
Bono
What a city, what a night, what a crowd, what a bomb, what a mistake, what a wanker you have for a President.
Bono quotes
Don't believe in the 60's,the Golden age of Pop.You glorify the past,when the Future dries up
Bono
It's a beautiful day...
Don't let it get away
Bono
It's a fact. So why aren't we pumping our fists in the air and cheering about it? Well probably because when we admit we can do something about it, we've got to do something about it. For the first time in history we have the know how, we have the cash, we have the lifesaving drugs, but do we have the will?
