I'm terrible on facts. But I always have an idea. If you have an idea, you're well ahead
Diana Vreeland
I sincerely believe that energy grows from itself and the more energy you expand the more you create within yourself.
Diana Vreeland
If it isn't a passion, it isn't burning, it isn't on fire, you haven't lived.
Diana Vreeland
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?
Diana Vreeland
A good photograph was never what I was looking for. I like to have a point. I had to have a point or I didn't have a picture. This is what I've always found so fascinating about paparazzi pictures. They catch something unintended, on the wing... they get that thing. It's the revelation of personality.
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
Don't you loathe the word workaholic? It has nothing to do with an important thing, that you and your secretary are at the office until 6:30. But that's life, kiddo. 24-hour work doesn't go on in America. 24-hour work is what Italy and Holland did after the war. The lights never went out!
Diana Vreeland
I loathe narcissism, but I approve of vanity.
Diana Vreeland
Peanut butter is the greatest invention since Christianity.

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.
Diana Vreeland
Before even the technique, there is a dream. Chanel had it. The dream is everything.
Diana Vreeland
Of course I was always mad about the ballet russe, mad about it!
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
Too much good taste can be very boring. Independent style, on the other hand, can be very inspiring.
Diana Vreeland
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
All people are meant to be creative in a certain way. What way? Perhaps I was cut out to be a wonderful housewife, with a marvelous sense of cooking, being with my friends, running a perfect house. But I am not ambitious towards anything.
Diana Vreeland
What do I think about the way most people dress? Most people are not something one thinks about.
Diana Vreeland
I'm for everybody. There are no set rules. But if one's not a joiner. To hell with all of them!
Diana Vreeland
Balenciaga was incredibleI was madly infatuated with his clothes. His clothes were devastating. One fainted. One simply blew up and died.
