“All words are borrowed. The beauty of writing is how they flow through us and arrange themselves as something new but familiar. We can be unique and belong at the same time.

“Bono’s pet phrase for the Zoo philosophy has been judo, jujitsu: using your enemy’s strength against him. It’s how the band reconciled their embrace of all the tools-commercialism, glamour, stardom, ostentation-to which U2’s music and beliefs had previously stood in opposition.
