I think your imagination is your reality
Diana Vreeland
People who eat white bread have no dreams.
Diana Vreeland
You don't have to be born beautiful to be wildly attractive.
Diana Vreeland
You're not supposed to give people what they want, you're supposed to give them what they don't know that they want yet.

Diana Vreeland
I'm for everybody. There are no set rules. But if one's not a joiner. To hell with all of them!

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
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

Diana Vreeland
I went to work to make money, not because I was bored. It was money that I wanted.
Diana Vreeland
I adore artifice. I always have.
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
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
Unshined shoes are the end of civilization.
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
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
Within every girl is the possibility of arousing emotion. Without emotion there is no beauty.
