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, During the Bed-In for Peace, June 1, 1969
