"Do you know who I am? Well I know you are...I probably know you better than you know yourself!" - From Sydney '93

During the ZooTV tour in Dortmund bono is dedicating a song (ISHFWILF) to a teacher, who is at the show, from the school they went to when they were growing up, and he let them make music in their class.

Then he says to all garage bands, and all inspiring musicians to

"Get out there and make some noise. Tell the world to f*ck off!"
 
You only get disillusioned if you had illusions to began with. I always thought that was very clear, direct and makes a whol-lotta sense too.

Another one I liked, which I'm a bit embarrased to say opened my eyes is during the end of the Boston Elevation Show when he said he had read any article in the Boston Globe regarding Meds getting to Africa, and that (Can't remember the person's name) had said that the African's couldn't get meds because they don't have wrisk watches to tell the time......(meaning when to take it).......they he says "What the F*@!K IS GOING ON!.......I think we should send (So and So) a bunch of wrisk watches. Anyway, were going to be making a lot of noise about this in the coming months"..............and they did. And look how far they've come with the noise they made........

"Revolution starts at home, in your heart, in your refusal to compromise your beliefs and your values. I'm not interested inpolitics like people fighting back with sticks and stones, but in the politics of love. I think there is nothing more radical than two people's loving each other, because it's so infrequent."

Well, hell, I wouldn't think I would need to spell it out, but apparently you need it. Every time I listen to the song, is what I meant.
