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
Never trust a man when he's in love, drunk, or running for office.
Shirley MacLaine
I'm not sure I'll come back to this planet. I may come back to another one.
