Don't look back. Just go ahead. Give ideas away. Under every idea there's a new idea waiting to be born.
Diana Vreeland
Money has nothing to do with style at all, but naturally it helps every situation.
Diana Vreeland
You don't have to be born beautiful to be wildly attractive.
Diana Vreeland
The only real elegance is in the mind if you've got that, the rest really comes from it.
Diana Vreeland
I adore artifice. I always have.
Diana Vreeland
A lie to get out of something, or take an advantage for oneself, that’s one thing but a lie to make life more interesting—well, that’s entirely different.
Diana Vreeland
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
You've got to have style, it helps you get out of bed in the morning.
Diana Vreeland
I'm terrible on facts. But I always have an idea. If you have an idea, you're well ahead
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
I think your imagination is your reality
Diana Vreeland
Oh, but I think that thoughtfulness and manners are everything.
Diana Vreeland
Without emotion there is no beauty
Diana Vreeland
You know the greatest thing is passion, without it what have you got? I mean if you love someone you can love them as much as you can love them but if it isn’t a passion, it isn’t burning, it isn’t on fire, you haven’t lived.
Diana Vreeland
Balenciaga was incredibleI was madly infatuated with his clothes. His clothes were devastating. One fainted. One simply blew up and died.
Diana Vreeland
If it isn't a passion, it isn't burning, it isn't on fire, you haven't lived.
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
The best thing about London is Paris.
Diana Vreeland
People who eat white bread have no dreams.
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...
