Diana Vreeland

Diana Vreeland
Don't look left nor right and never compete. Never. Watching the other guy is what kills all forms of energy.
Diana Vreeland
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
It's only intelligent to wish to look after yourself properly.
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
Fashion must be the most intoxicating release from the banality of the world.
Diana Vreeland
Every girl in the world should have geisha training
