Africa is a continent in flames. And deep down, if we really accepted that Africans were equal to us, we would all do more to put the fire out. We're standing around with watering cans, when what we really need is the fire brigade. Bono

In general people put too much faith in the rich, the famous, the politicians, and not enough faith in themselves. Bono
Bono quote: "The great moments of rock 'n' roll were never off in some..."
