Shirley MacLaine on "responsibility"
I began by saying that since I realized that in every respect I was creating my own reality, I must also conclude that I was really the only living person in my universe. […] I went on to express my sense of total responsibility for and power over all events taking place in the world, because everything that happens in the world is only taking place in my reality. (MacLaine, 1989, referenced in Kärfve, 1998, p. 26)
