Fragrances fill the senses with the mysterious.
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

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.

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
Unshined shoes are the end of civilization.
Diana Vreeland
People who eat white bread have no dreams.
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
I went to work to make money, not because I was bored. It was money that I wanted.
Diana Vreeland
When fashion turns over it brings in little tiny creaks and cracks. This is the fascination and that is where you have to watch every step.
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'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
I think allure is something around you, like a perfume or like a scent. It's like a memory ... it pervades.
Diana Vreeland
