The first thing to do is to arrange to be born in Paris. After that, everything follows quite naturally.

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.

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
There’s only one thing in life, and that’s the continual renewal of inspiration.
Diana Vreeland
Too much good taste can be boring
Diana Vreeland
Don't look back. Just go ahead. Give ideas away. Under every idea there's a new idea waiting to be born.
Diana Vreeland
Never worry about the facts. Just project an image to the public.
Diana Vreeland
Chutney is marvelous. I'm mad about it. To me, it's very imperial.

Peanut butter is the greatest invention since Christianity.
Diana Vreeland
Don't look left nor right and never compete. Never. Watching the other guy is what kills all forms of energy.
