Style all who have it have have one thing: originality.
Diana Vreeland
It's only intelligent to wish to look after yourself properly.

If it isn't a passion, it isn't burning, it isn't on fire, you haven't lived.
Diana Vreeland
You know the greatest thing is passion, without it what have you got? I mean if you love someone you can love them as much as you can love them but if it isn’t a passion, it isn’t burning, it isn’t on fire, you haven’t lived.
Diana Vreeland
Pink is the navy blue of India.

Diana Vreeland
Pleasure is everything.
Diana Vreeland
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 loathe narcissism, but I approve of vanity.
Diana Vreeland
When I arrived in America, I had these very dark red nails which some people objected to, but then some people object to absolutely everything.
Diana Vreeland
I adore artifice. I always have.
Diana Vreeland
You don't have to be born beautiful to be wildly attractive.
Diana Vreeland
Being vulgar is fine, but oh please just don't be boring.
Diana Vreeland
Never worry about the facts. Just project an image to the public.
Diana Vreeland
Without emotion there is no beauty
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
A lie to get out of something, or take an advantage for oneself, that’s one thing but a lie to make life more interesting—well, that’s entirely different.
Diana Vreeland
The only real elegance is in the mind if you've got that, the rest really comes from it.
Diana Vreeland
I went to work to make money, not because I was bored. It was money that I wanted.
Diana Vreeland
