If you think all the time every day of your life, you might as well kill yourself today and be happier tomorrow.
Diana Vreeland
Image
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.

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?

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.

Where Chanel came from in France is anyone’s guess. She said one thing one day and another thing the next. She was a peasant—and a genius. Peasants and geniuses are the only people who count and she was both.

I certainly didn't learn anything in school. My education was the world.

I think allure is something around you, like a perfume or like a scent. It's like a memory ... it pervades.

Image
Don't look left nor right and never compete. Never. Watching the other guy is what kills all forms of energy.
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.

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.
