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

As a rock star, I have two instincts,

We are all led by instinct,

- Bono
Everywhere I look, I see the evidence of a creator.
But I don't see it as religion,

Religion to me is almost like when God leaves -
and people devise a set of rules to fill the space.

a love and mystery God is -

that attempt to corral
this life force into rules and taboos,
cults and sects.
- Bono
Music can change the world because it can change people.
- Bono
The less you know, the more you believe.
- Bono
You have to open yourself up,
you have to be raw;

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

Now we're wrapping our arms around it and giving it a great big kiss.
- Bono
I don't doubt God. I have firm faith absolutely in God.
It's religion I'm doubting.

are rotting when I listen to the radio.

I am a believer. I don't wear the badge on the outside
but it is on the inside.
- 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
To laugh often and much;
to win the respect of intelligent people
and the affection of children,
to leave the world a better place,
to know even one life has breathed easier
because you have lived,
this is to have succeeded.

Believe in the laughter of children.

Many important things shouldn't be done half-way.
Think of getting married, having children,
starting a business, changing your career.
There are times to gather your courage
and make the leap, the whole leap.

We must respect the other fellow's religion,
but only in the sense and to the extent
that we respect his theory that
his wife is beautiful and his children smart.
- H. L. Mencken
Live so that when your children think of fairness,
caring and integrity, they think of you.

Before they are domesticated they live in the moment,
love without fear, and don't even think about the opinions of others.
