ok, so i have a presentation in my irish literature class next week on....bono!! now, my lil presentation is going against the likes of oscar wilde, james joyce, michael collins, st. patrick, brian boru.....basically against every irish hero there was. some in my class have openly mocked the idea that bono is an "irish hero" and although i know deep down they're incorrect, i feel i must prove this fact to them.

soooooo, i am asking for deep, philosophical, ranting, raving, inspiring, hopeful, hopeless, fantastic, cacphonous, wondrous, humorous, humbling, bright shiny quotes from the man himself or about him. lyrics, articles, soundbites ANYTHING at all. anything and everything thanks in advance!

Does anyone have a quote by Bono (probably 10 years old, at least) about human responsibility of "giving back everything we can to God"?

The quote was a broader statement about life, but the lyric from Magnificent is founded in the same thought.

i was thinking earlier, what lyric sums up U2 the best, or represents them the best? this could be an interesting discussion
