More quotes by Shirley MacLaine
You can't take a crash course in serenity.
Shirley MacLaine
Ballet is the repetitive training of the body for the purpose of executing steps in traditional fashion. It is tied to and bound by the past. It is a disciplined beauty consciously preserved in the image of the old days in societies that were class-conscious and appreciative of elitist physical expertise.
Shirley MacLaine
We are not victims of the world we see, we are victims of the way we see the world.
Shirley MacLaine
When a child comes in, I believe that it's a 'multipersonhood,' and it knows it, its consciousness knows it, and it has a nuclei in the center of its consciousness that is the repository of all experience and all knowledge. And when you look in the eyes of your baby and you feel this sense that they are an old soul, I believe indeed they are.
Shirley MacLaine

Shirley MacLaine
I realized that if what we call human nature can be changed, then absolutely anything is possible. From that moment my life changed.
Shirley MacLaine
You let the energy go wherever it wants. I have such a rich spiritual life. Most people take drugs to experience that.
Shirley MacLaine
We humans should never forget our capacity to connect with the collective spirit of animals. Their energy is essential to our future growth.
Shirley MacLaine
Women love working together. That's my experience anyway.
Shirley MacLaine
The loss of magic is the denial of unlimited possibility.
