Quote of Note | Diana Vreeland

“I have astigmatism, like El Greco. I’m not comparing myself with El Greco for a minute, except that we both have the same physical disability. Partly because of his disability he saw things that most people don’t see. I see all sorts of things that you don’t see. I see girls and I see the way their feet fall off the sidewalk when they’re getting ready to cross the street but they’re waiting for the light, with their marvelous hair blowing in the wind and their fatigued eyes….”

Diana Vreeland, quoted in Amanda Mackenzie Stuart‘s Empress of Fashion: A Life of Diana Vreeland (Harper)
