More quotes by Diana Vreeland
My life has been more influenced by books than by any other one thing.
Diana Vreeland
Without emotion there is no beauty
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
Fashion must be the most intoxicating release from the banality of the world.
Diana Vreeland
Prettiness is not a rent you pay for occupying a space marked 'female'
Diana Vreeland
Being vulgar is fine, but oh please just don't be boring.
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
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
Too much good taste can be boring
Diana Vreeland
Unshined shoes are the end of civilization.
Diana Vreeland
There was a time when it was considered vulgar and unnecessary to pursue money, but today anyone who doesn't believe in money must be out of their minds!
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
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
Pleasure is everything.
Diana Vreeland
Never fear being vulgar, just boring, middle class or dull.
Diana Vreeland
Too much good taste can be very boring. Independent style, on the other hand, can be very inspiring.
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
Fashion is part of the daily air and it changes all the time, with all the events. You can even see the approaching of a revolution in clothes. You can see and feel everything in clothes.
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
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...
