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.

I think your imagination is your reality
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
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
Most people haven't got a point of view they need to have it given to them––and what's more, they expect it from you.
Diana Vreeland
All my life I've pursued the perfect red.
Diana Vreeland
It’s not about the dress you wear, but it’s about the life you lead in the dress.
Diana Vreeland
People who eat white bread have no dreams.
Diana Vreeland

Diana Vreeland
To be contented—that’s for the cows.
Diana Vreeland
