No one had a better sense of luxury than Coco Chanel, She really had the spirit of the 20th Century.
Diana Vreeland
I adore artifice. I always have.
Diana Vreeland
One thing I hold against Americans is that they have no flair for the rain. They seem unsettled by it it's against them: they take it as an assault, an inconvenience! But rain is so wonderfully cleansing, so refreshing, so calming...
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
I think allure is something around you, like a perfume or like a scent. It's like a memory ... it pervades.
Diana Vreeland
When I discovered dancing, I learned to dream.
Diana Vreeland
What do I think about the way most people dress? Most people are not something one thinks about.

I loathe narcissism, but I approve of vanity.
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
The best thing about London is Paris.
Diana Vreeland
Oh, but I think that thoughtfulness and manners are everything.
Diana Vreeland
It’s not about the dress you wear, but it’s about the life you lead in the dress.
Diana Vreeland
Never worry about the facts. Just project an image to the public.
Diana Vreeland
I think your imagination is your reality
Diana Vreeland
Chutney is marvelous. I'm mad about it. To me, it's very imperial.
Diana Vreeland
You've got to have style, it helps you get out of bed in the morning.
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 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
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
Pleasure is everything.
