Diana Vreeland
I adore artifice. I always have.
Diana Vreeland

God was fair to the Japanese. He gave them no oil, no coal, no diamonds, no gold, no natural resources — nothing! Nothing comes from the island that you can sustain a civilization on. What God gave the Japanese was a sense of style—maintained through the centuries through hard work and the disciplines of ambition.

All my life I’ve pursued the perfect red. I can never get painters to mix it for me. It’s exactly as if I’d said, ‘I want rococo with a spot of Gothic in it and a bit of Buddhist temple’—they have no idea what I’m talking about. About the best red is to copy the color of a child’s cap in any Renaissance portrait.

Diana Vreeland
I certainly didn't learn anything in school. My education was the world.
Diana Vreeland
Money has nothing to do with style at all, but naturally it helps every situation.
Diana Vreeland
Too much good taste can be very boring. Independent style, on the other hand, can be very inspiring.
Diana Vreeland
To be contented—that’s for the cows.
Diana Vreeland
I've always remained totally myself, which is to say, without an idea... of what to do.
Diana Vreeland
Beauty has nothing to do with possession. If possession and beauty must go together, then we are lost souls. A beautiful flower is not to be possessed, it's there to be beheld. It's there for your pleasure.
Diana Vreeland
Where would fashion be without literature?
Diana Vreeland
The personality is a work of art.
Diana Vreeland
You're not supposed to give people what they want, you're supposed to give them what they don't know that they want yet.
Diana Vreeland
I read everything! I would have read the phone book if you put it in front of me. I just read.
Diana Vreeland
I think your imagination is your reality
