John Lennon


“The people have the power, all we have to do is awaken that power in the people. The people are unaware. They’re not educated to realize that they have power. The system is so geared that everyone believes the government will fix everything. We are the government.”

Lennon remarked that "if everyone demanded peace instead of another television set, then there'd be peace."
