Why don't you have a room done up in every color green? This will take months, years, to collect, but it will be delightful-a melange of plants, green glass, green porcelains, and furniture covered in sad greens, gay greens, clear, faded, and poison greens?
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
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
I've always remained totally myself, which is to say, without an idea... of what to do.
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
Balenciaga did the most delicious evening clothes. Clothes aren't delicious any more.
Diana Vreeland
You've got to have style, it helps you get out of bed in the morning.
Diana Vreeland
No one had a better sense of luxury than Coco Chanel, She really had the spirit of the 20th Century.
Diana Vreeland
Style all who have it have have one thing: originality.
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
Don't look back. Just go ahead. Give ideas away. Under every idea there's a new idea waiting to be born.
