A funny person is funny only for so long, but a wit can sit down and go on being spellbinding forever. One is not meant to laugh. One stays quiet and marvels. Spontaneously witty talk is without question the most fascinating entertainment there is.
Diana Vreeland
What do I think about the way most people dress? Most people are not something one thinks about.
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

Diana Vreeland
Within every girl is the possibility of arousing emotion. Without emotion there is no beauty.
Diana Vreeland
I read everything! I would have read the phone book if you put it in front of me. I just read.
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
Style all who have it have have one thing: originality.
