"Mind Games"
Lyrics, Mind Games (1973)
Original: We all been playing those mind games forever

Doing the mind guerrilla,
Some call it magic — the search for the grail.
Love is the answer and you know that for sure.
Love is a flower, you got to let it — you got to let it grow.

And no important endeavour that required innovation was done without risk. You have to be willing to take those risks. … In whatever you are doing, failure is an option. But fear is not.

“So long as you can sweeten another's pain, life is not in vain.”

“Of all pains, the greatest pain
Is to love, and love in vain.”
