I am a believer. I don't wear the badge on the outside
but it is on the inside.
- Bono
Everywhere I look, I see the evidence of a creator.
But I don't see it as religion,

and people devise a set of rules to fill the space.

People should be angry about a lot of things
and the peace-and-love thing
doesn't sit comfortably with me at all.

- 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.

Take time to play!
Ask for what you want.

Live loudly.
Be avid.
Learn a new thing.
