More quotes by 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
If it isn't a passion, it isn't burning, it isn't on fire, you haven't lived.

Diana Vreeland
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
A funny person is funny only for so long, but a wit can sit down and go on being spellbinding forever. One is not meant to laugh. One stays quiet and marvels. Spontaneously witty talk is without question the most fascinating entertainment there is.
Diana Vreeland
Chutney is marvelous. I'm mad about it. To me, it's very imperial.
Diana Vreeland
Pink is the navy blue of India.
Diana Vreeland
You gotta have style. It helps you get down the stairs. It helps you get up in the morning. It's a way of life. Without it, you're nobody.
Diana Vreeland
I adore artifice. I always have.
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
No one had a better sense of luxury than Coco Chanel, She really had the spirit of the 20th Century.
Diana Vreeland
I've always remained totally myself, which is to say, without an idea... of what to do.
Diana Vreeland
