Shirley MacLaine
Someday change will be accepted as life itself.
Shirley MacLaine
New York is the perfect town for getting over a disappointment, a loss, or a broken heart.
Shirley MacLaine
Prayer is speaking to God. Meditation is listening to God. Trust tranquility.
Shirley MacLaine
I've gotten crankier in my old age.
Shirley MacLaine
I hoped that the trip would be the best of all journeys: a journey into ourselves.
Shirley MacLaine
I think the hill one has to trudge in order to understand a man's baggage is more of a trek than I'd like to take right now.
Shirley MacLaine
bonding through dependence never works, whereas bonding through freedom always does.
