Your favourite Quotes

[Niamh_Saoirse]

It's a boring friday night, i have nothing better to do than hanging around here...so don't blame if you don't like this thread! lol

What's your favourite quote or saying? And why is it your favourite? It doesn't necessarily have to be related to you U2...it can be any kind of quote.


ONe of my favourites is:

Never get used to anything
Hold onto the child in you
Keep your curiosity alive
Trust your intuition
Delight in simple things
Say yes to life with a passion
Fall madly in love

I thinks it sums up the little subtle things of life...i really like this one.

Another of my favourites is:

Amid the uncertainty there are certain ideas that are so powerful, and so right that you can hold onto them no matter how screwed up everything else is....Quiet good,huh?

"Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.? ~ Albert Einstein

"Only the winners decide what were war crimes." (Very true)

"My earliest memory of Larry was when we were starting off. We were at our first rehearsal in his kitchen and all these girls, all these 14 and 15 year old girls kept climbing over the walls and looking in at the windows at Larry. Larry just shouted at them to go away and then turned the hose on them. He's not interested in being a pop star. Larry likes to play the drums." ~ Bono

"I think the lyrics are shit. I think it's all about the drums." ~ Larry

"It's a terrible thing to get something before you desire it." ~ Bono

These are U2 related!

Did you ever think you were going to die?

LARRY: Yes, only on the back of Bono's motorbike!
EDGE: Only on the back of Bono's motorbike.
ADAM: Only in the back of Bono's car.
BONO: Die, no. Squashed, yes.

From Greek mythology - the Snake had been a woman and a man, and said women enjoyed sex more than men. Do you think that's true?

BONO: What would I know- in Irish Mythology, there is no sex.

BP: Do you ever have nightmares?
LARRY: Yes.
BP: About what?
LARRY: You.

Q: If the four of you were in a fight, I mean a truly tough brawl, which one of you would kick the other three's asses? (NME interview, 2001)
Larry: Bono
Adam: Bono
Edge: Bono
Bono: Me

this isn't my favorite quote (i don't know what is) but i like it a lot. i don't know who said it, sorry...

"Crazy people who are productive are geniuses. Crazy people who are rich are eccentric. Crazy people who are neither productive or rich are just plain crazy. Geniuses and crazy people are both in a deep ocean; geniuses swim, crazy people drown. Most of us are sitting safely on the shore. Take a chance and get your feet wet."

------------------
Take me to that twilight land
Packing a suitcase for a place...
that has to be believed to be seen

[oliveu2cm]

does anyone know the quote "Because really great songs touch places you can't explain" - Bono said it and it was prefaced by something about God...I used to have it as my signature on my email but forgot it somehow. I love that one.

As Queen of Quotes (dubbed by AM)

there are so many I love, funny ones and serious ones! like in the GQ issue with the writer saying about Edge "you get the impression that a game of slap with him could take a
week"! So here are some more of my favorites:

"I'm addicted too... I'm just addicted to being up here on this stage. Adam, Larry Mullen Jr., and Edge. They're my drug. Tonight I'm feeling high." Bono- Tempe, Arizona

"I danced every night under a mirror ball with a young lady from the Zoo TV crowd. Every night during 'Love Is Blindness'. They were amazing. I love it so much. Some nights I fell in love. I never really spoke to these people, but that's okay." - Bono in 1995

"The truth is, Bono is always broke, while Larry still has his First Communion money." -Paul McGuiness

"Finally the youthful -looking Larry Mullen, Jr. arrives, clad in a simple white T-shirt and black jacket, appearing eerily ageless, as if he's just stepped out of a photo shoot from the earliest days of "Boy" or "October". Much of the time today the drummer just sort of inconspicuously stands at different points along the perimeter of the room as if he's afraid somebody's gonna notice him and ask him to leave. He seems a little shy and disconnected ..... but if you stare at him long enough he'll look at you, nod his head, and smile." - Raygun, 4/97

"I simulate love-making by beating a piece of wood with a metal wire on which it vibrates"
-Adam Clayton, on what he does for a living.

"In a live situation, there's really no such thing as perfection... You can't deal in perfection. You can only deal in emotion." -Adam

"People tell us during our shows we sell very little in the way of hot dogs." Edge, U2: The Road To Pop

"A woman needs a man Like a fish needs a bicycle, And I guess I'm always going to need the Edge!" -Bono, Trying to Throw Your Arms Around the World, Stockholm, 1992

------------------
Take me to that twilight land
