More quotes by Shirley MacLaine
I don't feel competitive.
Shirley MacLaine
Crystals are amplifying minerals. You have a crystal in a radio - it amplifies the sound waves. You have a crystal in a television set - it amplifies the light waves. When you hold crystals, they amplify thought waves.
Shirley MacLaine
My mother was Canadian, so you never knew what she was thinking.
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
Technology has outstripped our knowledge of self.
Shirley MacLaine
Never trust a man when he's in love, drunk, or running for office.
Shirley MacLaine
bonding through dependence never works, whereas bonding through freedom always does.
Shirley MacLaine
Prayer is speaking to God. Meditation is listening to God. Trust tranquility.
Shirley MacLaine
You know, I think I had my first past life recall when I was 7.
Shirley MacLaine
You can't take a crash course in serenity.
Shirley MacLaine
For if the talent or individuality is there, it should be expressed. If it doesn't find its way out into the air, it can be turned inward and gnaw like the fox at the Spartan boy's belly.
Shirley MacLaine
I watched my head rolling on the floor. It landed face up and a big tear came out of one eye.
Shirley MacLaine
Dance is an art that imprints on the soul. It is with you every moment, it expresses itself in everything you do.
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 believe in UFOs, I believe in extraterrestrials, and I believe in angels. And maybe they'll protect all of us.
Shirley MacLaine
...One individual is his or her own best teacher, and no other idol or false image should be worshiped or adored because the God we are all seeking lies inside oneself, not outside.
Shirley MacLaine
You have to surrender to the energy above and below.
Shirley MacLaine
I'm an expert in hookers. I'm an expert in doormats. I'm an expert in victims. They were the best parts. And when I woke up--sociologically, politically, and creatively--I could no longer take those parts and look in the mirror.
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
You think you have a handle on God, the Universe, and the Great White Light until you go home for Thanksgiving. In an hour, you realize how far you've got to go and who is the real turkey.
