I think part of my success as an editor came from never worrying about a fact, a cause, an atmosphere. It was me—projecting to the public. That was my job. 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
I adore artifice. I always have.
Diana Vreeland

Diana Vreeland
People who eat white bread have no dreams.

Style all who have it have have one thing: originality.
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
God was fair to the Japanese. He gave them no oil, no coal, no diamonds, no gold, no natural resources — nothing! Nothing comes from the island that you can sustain a civilization on. What God gave the Japanese was a sense of style—maintained through the centuries through hard work and the disciplines of ambition.
Diana Vreeland
I loathe narcissism, but I approve of vanity.
Diana Vreeland
Every girl in the world should have geisha training
Diana Vreeland
Oh, but I think that thoughtfulness and manners are everything.
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
I went to work to make money, not because I was bored. It was money that I wanted.
