The best time to leave a party is when the party’s just beginning. There’s no drink that kills except the drink that you didn’t want to take, as the saying goes, and there’s no hour that kills except the hour you stayed after you wanted to go home.

Don't you loathe the word workaholic? It has nothing to do with an important thing, that you and your secretary are at the office until 6:30. But that's life, kiddo. 24-hour work doesn't go on in America. 24-hour work is what Italy and Holland did after the war. The lights never went out!

Why don't you have a room done up in every color green? This will take months, years, to collect, but it will be delightful-a melange of plants, green glass, green porcelains, and furniture covered in sad greens, gay greens, clear, faded, and poison greens?

For goodness sakes, beware of curls… It is a great art to do them so that the girls not only look modern - but do not suddenly look very vulgar.

Within every girl is the possibility of arousing emotion. Without emotion there is no beauty.

When fashion turns over it brings in little tiny creaks and cracks. This is the fascination and that is where you have to watch every step.

Where would fashion be without literature?

Fragrances fill the senses with the mysterious.

I'm terrible on facts. But I always have an idea. If you have an idea, you're well ahead
Diana Vreeland

Still, my dream in life is to come home and think of absolutely nothing. After all, you can’t think all the time.
Diana Vreeland
Image
I've always had such wonderful opportunities, but I never made the effort, haven't put on the pressure. But I never took them.
Diana Vreeland

I've always remained totally myself, which is to say, without an idea... of what to do.

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.
