Shirley MacLaine
Crystals amplify the consciousness.
Shirley MacLaine
I'd like to go to another planet, which I might live long enough to accomplish. Just get on a spaceship and go. But not the moon. I don't see any flowers there. The moon is too close. I want to go further.
Shirley MacLaine
I don't do like diva trips and stuff.
Shirley MacLaine
You have to surrender to the energy above and below.
