I dreamt of a country where education would prevail.

Most people get into bands for three very simple rock and roll reasons: to get laid, to get fame, and to get rich.

Feed the world. Let them know it's Christmas time again.

Find inner peace? I looked; it wasn't there.

Bono as we all know, is in love with the world, he's enamoured by it. I'm enraged by it. He wants to give the world a great big hug, I want to punch its lights out.

Music is still above all else the thing that does it for me

Mankind at its most desperate is often at its best

It strikes me as being morally repulsive and intellectually absurd that people die of want in a world of surplus.

We cannot succeed when half of us are held back. We call upon our sisters around the world to be brave, to embrace the strength within themselves and realize their full potential.

Ignorance allowed politicians to fool people and bad administrators to be re-elected.

I thought that words and books and pens were more powerful than guns.

When I look at my goal, my goal is peace.

A city without books, a city without a library is like a graveyard.

This is what my soul is telling me: be peaceful and love everyone.

They are afraid of educated women. They are afraid of the power of knowledge.

In the future, women, rather than men, will be the ones to change the world.

They only can shoot a body but they cannot shoot my dreams.
