More quotes by Shirley MacLaine
One can become as intellectually arrogant about spirituality as about empirical science.
Shirley MacLaine
Sometimes people who have their lives played out in public don't feel they have the privacy to continually journey within. I did, and that's why I have longevity.
Shirley MacLaine
In terms of my life, I guess I want to share whatever I've learned really, which is basically one thing: know yourself, look for yourself, know what to look for, cherish it, be honest, be authentic, even if it hurts your feelings. That's not bad.
Shirley MacLaine
bonding through dependence never works, whereas bonding through freedom always does.
Shirley MacLaine
Sex is hardly ever just about sex.
Shirley MacLaine
Why do people have to love people anyway?
Shirley MacLaine
I think of life itself now as a wonderful play that I've written for myself, and so my purpose is to have the utmost fun playing my part.
Shirley MacLaine
I look like a real bag lady when I go to Starbucks with my dog and get my chai.
Shirley MacLaine
I think we have to do something about the environment and how we are polluting the planet.
Shirley MacLaine
To release others from the expectations we have of them is to really love them.
Shirley MacLaine
The mob taught me how to play gin rummy.
Shirley MacLaine
I have a great life, to tell you the truth.
Shirley MacLaine
You know when you eat too many sweets and get diabetes? Paparazzi are the diabetes of materialistic culture.
Shirley MacLaine
We've had so many lifetimes of different cultures and different religions and different points of view and different wars and different loves and different children.
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
no one ever really leaves Hollywood. No one really leaves unless they are called away by God. Even then, the impulse would be to come back again and make a movie about the experience.
Shirley MacLaine
Don't be afraid to go out on a limb. It's where all the fruit is.
Shirley MacLaine
I'm very aware, but I'm very naïve. When you are really naïve and expecting safety and expecting the best, you don't feel you're taking risks. You can get smacked a little, but usually it works out pretty well. I would say that, as much as you can instill your open-minded naivety, if you're basically open minded, then you can do damn near anything.
Shirley MacLaine
Of course, we're all a mass of contradictions.
Shirley MacLaine
Prayer is speaking to God. Meditation is listening to God. Trust tranquility.
