The soul can never be corrupted with the corruption of the body, but it is like the wind which causes the sound of the organ, and which ceases to produce a good effect when a pipe is spoilt. ~ Leonardo Da Vinci
Spoilt quotes by Leonardo Da Vinci
Why is life so hard?"
"Because god is a spoilt child and this world is just a game he plays to amuse himself. ~ Anna McPartlin
Spoilt quotes by Anna McPartlin
The obvious truth is that the moment any matter has passed through the human mind it is finally and for ever spoilt for all purposes of science. ~ G.K. Chesterton
Spoilt quotes by G.K. Chesterton
The huge house looked as if some architectural master had put it together before handing it over to the spoilt son of some rich benefactor who had decided to have his way with it. ~ Will Hawthorne
Spoilt quotes by Will Hawthorne
I'm pretty spoilt when it comes to having a glam team. ~ Stephanie Sigman
Spoilt quotes by Stephanie Sigman
Perhaps it would have been better if he had killed me; my life is spoilt. ~ Louisa May Alcott
Spoilt quotes by Louisa May Alcott
I have seen some whose consciences, owing undoubtedly to former indulgence, had grown to be as irritable as spoilt children, and at length gave them no peace. They did not know when to swallow their cud, and their lives of course yielded no milk. ~ Henry David Thoreau
Spoilt quotes by Henry David Thoreau
When material is in profusion, the mind gets lazy and leaves everything to it, forgetting that for a successful feast of joy its internal equipment counts for more than the external. This is the chief lesson which his infant state has to teach to man. There his possessions are few and trivial, yet he needs no more for his happiness. The world of play is spoilt for the unfortunate youngster who is burdened with an unlimited quantity of playthings. ~ Rabindranath Tagore
Spoilt quotes by Rabindranath Tagore
When people are too comfortable, it is not possible to restrain them within the bounds of their duty? They may be compared to mules who, being accustomed to burdens, are spoilt by rest rather than labour. ~ Cardinal Richelieu
Spoilt quotes by Cardinal Richelieu
You're spoilt as an actor if you are in that small percentage that works regularly. ~ Iain Glen
Spoilt quotes by Iain Glen
I hate being called spoilt. My life is ordinary. ~ Peaches Geldof
Spoilt quotes by Peaches Geldof
I'm afraid that whatever I touch is spoilt by the contact."
"I'm not scared of being spoiled," Val said. ~ Holly Black
Spoilt quotes by Holly Black
Who would wave a flag to be rescued if they had a desert island of their own? That was the thing that spoilt Robinson Crusoe. In the end he came home. There never ought to be an end. ~ Arthur Ransome
Spoilt quotes by Arthur Ransome
He gives me the impression of being a spoilt child.

(on Liszt) ~ Clara Schumann
Spoilt quotes by Clara Schumann
Actresses are so spoilt - we have someone who does our hair for us on set, so we don't know how to do it ourselves in real life. I know how to wash my hair and brush my teeth, but that's about it! ~ Clemence Poesy
Spoilt quotes by Clemence Poesy
If the outside [our outside circumstances] has become spoilt so be it, don't let the inside [our inner intent] spoil. If you don't have the money to pay off your debt, keep the intent pure within that you want to pay it off. Because you did not let the inner intent spoil, the time to pay off the debt will come. ~ Dada Bhagwan
Spoilt quotes by Dada Bhagwan
It seems to me that what we call beauty in a face lies in the smile: if the smile heightens the charm of the face, the face is a beautiful one; if it does not alter it, the face is ordinary, and if it is spoilt by a smile, it is ugly. ~ Leo Tolstoy
Spoilt quotes by Leo Tolstoy
A recognisable picture of a spoilt 22-year-old girl experiencing her first love affair, knowing that she is infatuated with a totally unsuitable man who will alienate her friends and eventually cause herself serious damage, yet determined to press ahead whatever the cost. ~ Roderick Graham
Spoilt quotes by Roderick Graham
If you are a 19-year-old woman, there are very specific things that directors and the people in positions of power in the industry - who tend to be older men - are going to want you to be and do. They are not going to want some chatty, difficult, slightly spoilt girl. ~ Romola Garai
Spoilt quotes by Romola Garai
The ideological fantasies of this movement [New Left of the 1960s] … were no more than a nonsensical expression of the whims of spoilt middle-class children, and while the extremists among them were virtually indistinguishable from Fascist thugs, the movement did without doubt express a profound crisis of faith in the values that had inspired democratic societies for many decades.… The New Left explosion of academic youth was an aggressive movement born of frustration, which easily created a vocabulary for itself out of Marxist slogans … : liberation, revolution, alienation, etc. Apart from this, its ideology really has little in common with Marxism. It consists of "revolution" without the working class; hatred of modern technology as such; …the cult of primitive societies … as the source of progress; hatred of education and specialized knowledge. ~ Leszek Kołakowski
Spoilt quotes by Leszek Kołakowski
run. He is spoilt and his ambition is the work of an idle and over-reaching mother. ~ Kiran Nagarkar
Spoilt quotes by Kiran Nagarkar
Yes, I know,' she said in answer to the unasked, for there was no time for explanations. 'Yes. My face is spoilt.'

Grandible's jowl wobbled and creased. Then, for the first time that Neverfell could remember, he changed to a Face she had never seen before, a frown more ferocious and alarming than either of the others.

'Who the shambles told you that?' he barked. 'Spoilt? I'll spoil them.' He took hold of her chin and examined her. 'A bit sadder, maybe. A bit wiser. But nothing rotten. You're just growing yourself a rind at last. Still a good cheese. ~ Frances Hardinge
Spoilt quotes by Frances Hardinge
I was probably spoilt, if I'm being totally honest. ~ Mark Shand
Spoilt quotes by Mark Shand
There was a Chinese Dragon for a short time too. No one could say his name and he insisted on Sweet and Sour Pork for every meal. It got very expensive. Fortunately, a Chinese couple who owned a wok, fell in love with him. They took him home with them, and he is now spoilt rotten. They even wrote a cookery book for other Chinese Dragon owners: A Hundred Ways to Cook Sweet and Sour Pork. That was a great success. ~ Ann Perry
Spoilt quotes by Ann Perry
I will shed no more tears, like a spoilt child. For whatever happens we have had what we have had. No one can take that from us. And I have been alive, who was never alive before. ~ Daphne Du Maurier
Spoilt quotes by Daphne Du Maurier
Just as iron which is not used grows rusty, and water putrefies and freezes in the cold, so the mind of which no use is made is spoilt. ~ Leonardo Da Vinci
Spoilt quotes by Leonardo Da Vinci
The only way to make a spoilt machine work again is to break it down, work on its inner system and fix it again. Screw out the bolts of your life, examine and work on yourself, fix your life again and get going. ~ Israelmore Ayivor
Spoilt quotes by Israelmore Ayivor
The theologians,
the apologists, and their kin the metaphysicians, the high-handed
statesmen, and others, no longer interest me. All that has been spoilt for
me by the grind of stern reality! ~ Thomas Hardy
Spoilt quotes by Thomas Hardy
I am reduced to a thing that wants Virginia. I composed a beautiful letter to you in the sleepless nightmare hours of the night, and it has all gone: I just miss you, in a quite simple desperate human way. You, with all your un-dumb letters, would never write so elementary a phrase as that; perhaps you wouldn't even feel it. And yet I believe you'll be sensible of a little gap. But you'd clothe it in so exquisite a phrase that it would lose a little of its reality. Whereas with me it is quite stark: I miss you even more than I could have believed; and I was prepared to miss you a good deal. So this letter is just really a squeal of pain. It is incredible how essential to me you have become. I suppose you are accustomed to people saying these things. Damn you, spoilt creature; I shan't make you love me any the more by giving myself away like this - But oh my dear, I can't be clever and stand-offish with you: I love you too much for that. Too truly. You have no idea how stand-offish I can be with people I don't love. I have brought it to a fine art. But you have broken down my defences. And I don't really resent it. ~ Vita Sackville-West
Spoilt quotes by Vita Sackville-West
What an idiot I'd been. What a spoilt brat. What a bloody fool. ~ David Millar
Spoilt quotes by David Millar
Rather than getting more spoilt with age, as difficulties pile up, epiphanies of gratitude abound. ~ Alain De Botton
Spoilt quotes by Alain De Botton
Fashion is primitive in its insistence on exhibitionism, which withers in isolation. The catwalk fashion show with its incandescent hype is its apotheosis. A ritualized gathering of connoiseurs and the spoilt at a spotlit parade of snazzy pulchritude, it is an industrialized version of the pagan festivals of renewal. At the end of each seasonal display, a priesthood is enjoined to carry news of the omens to the masses. ~ Stephen Bayley
Spoilt quotes by Stephen Bayley
Don't feel useless. Even a spoilt clock is right twice a day. ~ Unknown
Spoilt quotes by Unknown
Being an actor, you can get spoilt a little bit: car services come and pick you up, you get put up in nice hotels, people fetch you coffee, and so on. It is wonderful, but you can get lost in that world pretty quickly and start believing that it is real life. ~ Neil Jackson
Spoilt quotes by Neil Jackson
I've been so lucky to have my mum and dad because they've worked to give my brother and I everything. We're not spoilt children. ~ Amy Childs
Spoilt quotes by Amy Childs
We are being spoilt in Aladdin's cave today, and each goal seemingly better than the last. ~ Ray Hudson
Spoilt quotes by Ray Hudson
'Spoilt' is a euphemism for 'loved.' ~ James Nesbitt
Spoilt quotes by James Nesbitt
I really make sure that my girls understand the importance of education. I don't want them to be spoilt and only know private school kids. I want them to behave well by example. ~ Wendi Deng Murdoch
Spoilt quotes by Wendi Deng Murdoch
Photography is Photography; And in it's purity and innocence is far too uniquely, valuable and beautiful to be spoilt by making it imitate something else. ~ Frederick H. Evans
Spoilt quotes by Frederick H. Evans
I begin to love this little creature, and to anticipate his birth as a fresh twist to a knot which I do not wish to untie. Men are spoilt by frankness, I believe, yet I must tell you that I love you better than I supposed I did, when I promised to love you forever ... I feel it thrilling through my frame, giving and promising pleasure. ~ Mary Wollstonecraft
Spoilt quotes by Mary Wollstonecraft
There were only 170 neurologists in Britain then and, whether spoken or unspoken, there was this insidious feeling. How can Bannister, a mere athlete, probably spoilt by all the publicity and fame, dare aspire to neurology? But I'd done a lot of research, and my academic record was very good. ~ Roger Bannister
Spoilt quotes by Roger Bannister
I had a very spoilt childhood. Not that my family were incredibly wealthy, but we lived on the beautiful island of Hawaii where everything was lush and in abundance. ~ Marie Helvin
Spoilt quotes by Marie Helvin
Week after Clyde left you I heard that Cocoa wake up to her cootchie spoilt like a rotten oyster. Didn't get better for three months. Bertrina she good friends with Cocoa She knows your prayer works. ~ Kathryn Stockett
Spoilt quotes by Kathryn Stockett
I've always hated it when people overspend, are spoilt or throw their money away. ~ Brian Blessed
Spoilt quotes by Brian Blessed
There is a kind of despair involved in creation which I am sure any artist knows all about. In art, as in morality, great things go by the board because at the crucial moment we blink our eyes. When is the crucial moment? Greatness is to recognize it and be able to hold it and to extend it. But for most of us the space between 'dreaming on things to come' and 'it is too late, it is all over' is too tiny to enter. And so we let each thing go, thinking vaguely that it will always be given to us to try again. Thus works of art, and thus whole lives of men, are spoilt by blinking and moving quickly on. I often found that I had ideas for stories, but by the time I had thought them out in detail they seemed to me hardly worth writing, as if I had already 'done' them: not because they were bad, but because they already belonged to the past and I had lost interest. My thoughts were soon stale to me. Some things I ruined by starting them too soon. Others by thinking them so intensely in my head that they were over before they began. Projects would change in a second from hazy uncommitted dreams into unsalvageable ancient history. Whole novels existed only in their titles. ~ Iris Murdoch
Spoilt quotes by Iris Murdoch
For me, as for all the world, the War was a tragedy and a vast stupidity, a waste of youth and of time; it betrayed my faith, mocked my love, and irremediably spoilt my career. ~ Vera Brittain
Spoilt quotes by Vera Brittain
Salt represents the civilized: it requires know-how to get it, and a sophisticated combination of cooking and spoilt, jaded appetites to need it. ~ Margaret Visser
Spoilt quotes by Margaret Visser
Spoilt pleasure is a sad, unseemly thing; you can only bury it. ~ Elizabeth Bowen
Spoilt quotes by Elizabeth Bowen
I'm sorry your evening has been spoilt; I hope Juffrouw van Doorn won't be too upset.'

'She will be livid,' he observed with calm. 'Drink your brandy, it will prevent you catching cold.' He leant over Bertie for a moment and listened to the dog's snores. 'He'll be all right now.'

Becky sipped her brandy, wrinkling her nose. 'This tastes very peculiar.'

Not a muscle of the Baron's face moved. He would hardly have described his best Napoleon brandy as peculiar. ~ Betty Neels
Spoilt quotes by Betty Neels
Well, what do you think would happen to your face if you found out something you couldn't forget? Something terrible that changed the way you thought, and would show through your expressions forever?' Leodora leaned forward and spoke in a low, gentle tone. 'Your face would be spoilt. And then there would be no point to you any more. ~ Frances Hardinge
Spoilt quotes by Frances Hardinge
I'm spoilt. I like my own space. I don't even own a microwave, and men don't like that. They want to be looked after. ~ Marie Helvin
Spoilt quotes by Marie Helvin
On occasions the person may appear ill-mannered; for example, one young man with Asperger's Syndrome wanted to attract his mother;s attention while she was talking to a group of her friends, and loudly said, 'Hey, you!', apparently unaware of the more appropriate means of addressing his mother in public. The child, being impulsive and not aware of the consequences, says the first thing that comes into their mind. Strangers may consider the child to be rude, inconsiderate or spoilt, giving the parents a withering look and assuming the unusual social behavior is a result of parental incompetence. They may comment, 'Well, if I had him for two weeks he would be a different child.' The parents' reaction may be that they would gladly let them have the child, as they need a rest, and to prove a point. ~ Tony Attwood
Spoilt quotes by Tony Attwood
Most of us make our minds like spoilt children, allowing them to do whatever they want. Therefore it is necessary that Kriya-yoga should be constantly practised, in order to gain control of the mind, and bring it into subjection. The obstructions to Yoga arise from lack of control, and cause us pain. They can only be removed by denying the mind, and holding it in check, through the means of Kriya-yoga. ~ Swami Vivekananda
Spoilt quotes by Swami Vivekananda
I'm a spoilt brat. I thought I was just going to walk in and make movies. But I'd been my own boss for so long that all of a sudden to be facing a roomful of people who were niggling over every little scene ... I just thought I'd go back and draw my comics and have a happy life. ~ Frank Miller
Spoilt quotes by Frank Miller
The good we do to others is spoilt unless we efface ourselves so completely that those we help have no sense of inferiority. ~ Honore De Balzac
Spoilt quotes by Honore De Balzac
The Best of Elvis Presley, Doris Day, Jerry Lee Lewis, Bill Hailey and the Comets, Frank Sinatra, Peggy Lee, Frankie Laine all topped the charts in the '50s. Load a playlist of rock n' roll royalty. You're spoilt for choice. ~ Sara Sheridan
Spoilt quotes by Sara Sheridan
Many excellent cooks are spoilt by going into the arts. ~ Paul Gauguin
Spoilt quotes by Paul Gauguin
I've definitely been spoilt. Every movie I've done, it's always the same criteria: finding a great story, and finding a great part to play. ~ Alden Ehrenreich
Spoilt quotes by Alden Ehrenreich
God created Adam master and lord of living creatures, but Eve spoilt all, when she persuaded him to set himself above God's will. 'Tis you women, with your tricks and artifices, that lead men into error. ~ Martin Luther
Spoilt quotes by Martin Luther
My dogs are spoilt for sure. They are pampered pooches. But I love them so much! I guess all dogs need to be washed, but maybe blueberry facials aren't essential. It's quite fun, though. You want to give your children everything; I don't have children, so I want my dogs to have a good life. ~ Tamara Ecclestone
Spoilt quotes by Tamara Ecclestone
I feel like a spoilt rapper. I get to pick and choose everything. ~ Eminem
Spoilt quotes by Eminem
The least little bit o' money 'll really do ... What have yer done ter yerselves, wi' the blasted work? Spoilt yerselves. No need to work that much. Take yer clothes off an' look at yourselves. Yer ought ter be alive an' beautiful, an' yer ugly an' half dead. ~ D.H. Lawrence
Spoilt quotes by D.H. Lawrence
I grew up in England, went to a nice public school, then didn't want to go to university, so I thought I would wander around. I did a season skiing, a bit of sailing, typical spoilt brat stuff. I ended up in the Caribbean. I was having a blast. ~ Marc Koska
Spoilt quotes by Marc Koska
'Sesame Street' was a pioneering educational T.V. show, intended to help underprivileged children. But even those of us middle-class kids spoilt for pedagogical choice couldn't get enough of it. ~ Sarah Churchwell
Spoilt quotes by Sarah Churchwell
You have not been yourself all day," said Henry, and rose from his seat with face unmoved. Margaret rushed at him and seized both his hands. She was transfigured.
"Not any more of this!" she cried. "You shall see the connection if it kills you, Henry! You have had a mistress - I forgave you. My sister has a lover - you drive her from the house. Do you see the connection? Stupid, hypocritical, cruel - oh, contemptible! - a man who insults his wife when she's alive and cants with her memory when she's dead. A man who ruins a woman for his pleasure, and casts her off to ruin other men. And gives bad financial advice, and then says he is not responsible. These men are you. You can't recognise them, because you cannot connect. I've had enough of your unneeded kindness. I've spoilt you long enough. All your life you have been spoiled. Mrs. Wilcox spoiled you. No one has ever told what you are - muddled, criminally muddled. Men like you use repentance as a blind, so don't repent. Only say to yourself, 'What Helen has done, I've done. ~ E.M. Forster
Spoilt quotes by E.M. Forster
He wasn't like some of the hippies in England, where the qualification to rebel is planted by the guilt raised from being a spoilt child with a good education. He was a real hippy born from being forced to kill for his army until he was twenty one. He had long hair because the army made him shave his head. The army made him shave every day too. Now he had a beard. His face for a long time was not his own. When this guy said he was all about peace he wasn't talking about peace because his mum never got him the horse he wanted for his eighteenth birthday, he was talking about peace because he'd seen war. He talked about love because he knew hate: hate for those above him, hate for those he had served with, hate for enemies not born his but who became so and, lastly, hate for himself for how his mind had been controlled. ~ Craig Stone
Spoilt quotes by Craig Stone
A man with a broken heart is as spoilt as a single man. ~ Jordan Hoechlin
Spoilt quotes by Jordan Hoechlin
My mum and dad ran a family cafe in Sligo for 35 years and worked long hours. We grew up in a very hard-working family and had a lovely atmosphere, as we lived above the restaurant. It definitely made me want to work hard, whatever I chose to do. As the baby of seven kids, I was definitely a bit spoilt. ~ Shane Filan
Spoilt quotes by Shane Filan
Seeing Blackpool on a dull winter's day rather spoilt my image of what seaside places were like.

(From LONE WOLF, p.60) ~ Len Webster
Spoilt quotes by Len Webster
It was always the same; other people gave up loving before she did. They got spoilt, or else they went away; in any case, they were partly to blame. Why did it happen so? She herself never changed; when she loved anyone, it was for life. She could not understand desertion; it was something so huge, so monstrous that the notion of it made her little heart break. ~ Emile Zola
Spoilt quotes by Emile Zola
My father was my trainer, my teacher. He was closer to my sister in the sense that she adored him and he adored her. He was more like my pal. Because of the 13-year gap, I think by the time I came along, it wasn't a big deal. I wasn't spoilt or cherished, I was just put to work. ~ Felicity Kendal
Spoilt quotes by Felicity Kendal
Leave off driving your composers. It might prove to be as dangerous as it is generally unnecessary. After all, composing cannot be turned out like spinning or sewing. Some respected colleagues (Bach, Mozart, Schubert) have spoilt the world terribly. But if we can't imitate them in the beauty of their writing, we should certainly beware of seeking to match the speed of their writing. It would also be unjust to put all the blame on idleness alone. Many factors combine to make writing harder for us (my contemporaries), and especially me. If, incidentally, they would use us poets for some other purpose, they would see that we are thoroughly and naturally industrious dispositions ... I have no time: otherwise I should love to chat on the difficulty of composing and how irresponsible publishers are. ~ Johannes Brahms
Spoilt quotes by Johannes Brahms
The only man who wasn't spoilt by being lionized was Daniel. ~ Herbert Beerbohm Tree
Spoilt quotes by Herbert Beerbohm Tree
I wished he would not always treat me as a child, rather spoilt, rather irresponsible, someone to be petted from time to time when the mood came upon him, but more often forgotten, more often patted on the shoulder and told to run away and play. I wished something would happen to make me look wiser, more mature.
Was it always going to be like this? He way ahead of me, with his own moods that I did not share, his secret troubles that I did not know? Would we never be together, he a man and I a woman, standing shoulder to shoulder, hand in hand with no gulf between us? I did not want to be a child. I wanted to be his wife, his mother. I wanted to be old. ~ Daphne Du Maurier
Spoilt quotes by Daphne Du Maurier
Politicians are like little cats: They are never serious; they always mess up the things; they are fainthearted and spoilt. And when they look at the mirror, they see a tiger there, till the hammer of reality break that mirror very harshly! ~ Mehmet Murat Ildan
Spoilt quotes by Mehmet Murat Ildan
