More quotes by 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
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
I was always sort of a loner, I suppose. I always had to think out everything for myself... I suppose that is what you call a loner.
Diana Vreeland
Balenciaga did the most delicious evening clothes. Clothes aren't delicious any more.
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
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 read everything! I would have read the phone book if you put it in front of me. I just read.
Diana Vreeland
All people are meant to be creative in a certain way. What way? Perhaps I was cut out to be a wonderful housewife, with a marvelous sense of cooking, being with my friends, running a perfect house. But I am not ambitious towards anything.
Diana Vreeland
You don't have to be born beautiful to be wildly attractive.
Diana Vreeland
No one had a better sense of luxury than Coco Chanel, She really had the spirit of the 20th Century.
Diana Vreeland
Money has nothing to do with style at all, but naturally it helps every situation.
Diana Vreeland
All my life I’ve pursued the perfect red. I can never get painters to mix it for me. It’s exactly as if I’d said, ‘I want rococo with a spot of Gothic in it and a bit of Buddhist temple’—they have no idea what I’m talking about. About the best red is to copy the color of a child’s cap in any Renaissance portrait.
Diana Vreeland
Within every girl is the possibility of arousing emotion. Without emotion there is no beauty.
Diana Vreeland
Too much good taste can be boring
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
Fragrances fill the senses with the mysterious.
Diana Vreeland
The only real elegance is in the mind if you've got that, the rest really comes from it.
Diana Vreeland
I went to work to make money, not because I was bored. It was money that I wanted.
Diana Vreeland
Being vulgar is fine, but oh please just don't be boring.
