More quotes by 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
I think i always had a perfectly clear view of what was possible for the public. Give'em what they never knew they wanted.
Diana Vreeland
All my life I've pursued the perfect red.
Diana Vreeland
What do I think about the way most people dress? Most people are not something one thinks about.
Diana Vreeland
I loathe narcissism, but I approve of vanity.
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
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
Fragrances fill the senses with the mysterious.
Diana Vreeland
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.
Diana Vreeland
There's only one very good life and that's the life you know you want and you make it yourself.
Diana Vreeland
The best thing about London is Paris.
Diana Vreeland
Pleasure is everything.
Diana Vreeland
When I discovered dancing, I learned to dream.
Diana Vreeland
The best time to leave a party is when the party’s just beginning. There’s no drink that kills except the drink that you didn’t want to take, as the saying goes, and there’s no hour that kills except the hour you stayed after you wanted to go home.
Diana Vreeland
Being vulgar is fine, but oh please just don't be boring.
Diana Vreeland
Beauty has nothing to do with possession. If possession and beauty must go together, then we are lost souls. A beautiful flower is not to be possessed, it's there to be beheld. It's there for your pleasure.
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
Never worry about the facts. Just project an image to the public.
Diana Vreeland
I was always sort of a loner, I suppose. I always had to think out everything for myself... I suppose that is what you call a loner.
Diana Vreeland
