“To not dare is to have already lost. We should seek out ambitious,
even unrealistic projects…because things only happen when we dream.”

ReplyDeleteHi Anna & Sandig
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comments.
I love the Mme. Putman quote - it is so true!
ReplyDeleteAll of these quotes are wise, and some of them are witty. Of course I'm partial to the one by the divine Miss V!
ReplyDeleteHi H of BC
ReplyDeleteI really admire Andree Putman. Whenever I start a project that is over the top I look at this quotation on my bulletin board and reflect on what would be the outcome if I didn't try. It gives me the courage I need.
Hi Peak of Chic..
ReplyDeleteYes I agree with you - the "divine Miss V" still lives on.
I love these quotes so much! Honestly, your blog gives me so much inspiration in so many different ways! I feel very "full" and "content" after reading all of your entries!
ReplyDeleteThank-you for you comment. I feel the same way about your blog and I was thrilled to see your posting on Andree Putman and that beautiful design she did for the home in Paris. So many thanks to you.

ReplyDeleteVreeland always has a way of casting off an air of composure and disregard for social convention. A way of living life with courage. Love the quotes!

Hi Franki
Happy and optimistic is a very good
state to try and maintain. That's why I love to be constantly surrounded and immersed with wonderful quotes. You are right Dianna Vreeland had it mastered.
