John Lennon: The Only Thing They Don't Know How To Handle

When it gets down to having to use violence, then you are playing

the system's game. The establishment will irritate you - 

pull your beard, flick your face - to make you fight.

Because once they've got you violent, then they know how to 

handle you. The only thing they don't know how to handle 

is non-violence and humor. 

- John Lennon
