Music can change the world because it can change people.

I've had a privileged existence with these three men onstage playing music that soars and screeches and dances and dreams. I've walked alongside some of the greatest light bulbs invented.

We thought the success of 'The Joshua Tree' was a reason to go back to America and examine the roots of that success that it was built on.

A lot of people come to see U2 songs rather than to see U2.

We are the most noisy church on earth.

What's really important is what you do with what you have, the society you create around yourself.

We have so many young fans known as Edgeheads.

Music is a very powerful thing. It's never just about the tune. Music can inspire people to be better, to do good things, to love more. And it doesn't matter what language it's in.

We're a band that plays their songs at every show, but every show is a different story.

One life, with each other, sisters, brothers.

Music is the thing that brought us together and empowered us and helped us to communicate.

It's a magical skill to take your life experiences and take the energy of them and put it into a three-and-a-half-minute song.

Don't look back, but don't forget to remember.

Art can't substitute for activism, but it can take us to places that politics can't.

America is not a country. It's a world.

Honesty and vulnerability are really, really good, strong things to have in your songwriting arsenal.

If you don't die of thirst, there are blessings in the desert. You can be pulled into limitlessness, which we all yearn for, or you can do the beauty of minutiae, the scrimshaw of tiny and precise. The sky is your ocean, and the crystal silence will uplift you like great gospel music, or Neil Young.

There's always some kind of war, there's always someone kind of suffering.

What you don't understand, you can make mean anything.

I think music is the most powerful form of communication in existence.

Poetry can't really be understood from an intellectual point of view. It's more of an emotional and instinctive thing.

I see a storm building and you're standing at the door.
