Quotes by Bono

“Africa is bursting into flames while we all stand around with watering cans”

“The soul needs beauty for a soul mate. When the soul wants...the soul waits.”

“Next time you go out for dinner, have a look around the table and if everyone is on your payroll, the chances are you have become a prick.”

To me, we are living in the most un-Christian times. When I see these racketeers, the snake-oil salesmen on these right-winged television stations, asking for not your $20.00, or your $50.00, but your $100.00 in the name of Jesus Christ, I just want to throw up!!

Honesty, vulnerability and a good amount of courageous faith allows you to cry out in your bewilderment and not lose your belief in the process. These things allow you to wrestle your faith rather than lose it.
