More quotes by Diana Vreeland
This is a weakness of the world. Someone thinks they've discovered something for the first time. They want to be authoritative about it.
Diana Vreeland
If you think all the time every day of your life, you might as well kill yourself today and be happier tomorrow.
Diana Vreeland
What do I think about the way most people dress? Most people are not something one thinks about.
Diana Vreeland
Every girl in the world should have geisha training
Diana Vreeland
Being vulgar is fine, but oh please just don't be boring.
Diana Vreeland
All my life I've pursued the perfect red.
Diana Vreeland
One thing I hold against Americans is that they have no flair for the rain. They seem unsettled by it it's against them: they take it as an assault, an inconvenience! But rain is so wonderfully cleansing, so refreshing, so calming...
Diana Vreeland
Pleasure is everything.
Diana Vreeland
You've got to have style, it helps you get out of bed in the morning.
Diana Vreeland
Of course I was always mad about the ballet russe, mad about it!
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
It’s not about the dress you wear, but it’s about the life you lead in the dress.
Diana Vreeland
I always say I hope to God I die in a town with a good tailor, a good shoemaker, and perhaps someone who's interested in a little quelque chose d'autre.
Diana Vreeland
I think allure is something around you, like a perfume or like a scent. It's like a memory ... it pervades.
Diana Vreeland
If it isn't a passion, it isn't burning, it isn't on fire, you haven't lived.
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
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
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
I went to work to make money, not because I was bored. It was money that I wanted.
Diana Vreeland
Unshined shoes are the end of civilization.
