“Two old Bachelors were living in one house;/ One caught a Muffin, the other caught a Mouse.”
Edward Lear
“The world must be peopled. When I said I would die a bachelor, I did not think I should live till I were married.”
William Shakespeare
“An adult male living alone stops being a vaguely tragicomic bachelor once he is found in the circumstance of simultaneously taking a whiz and eating a sandwich”
Dean Allen
“To a group of 25-year-olds here for a bachelor party, it'll conjure up a sense of naughtiness, escape and a secret-keeping thing. But to a 75-year-old couple from Des Moines, it'll be violating their low-cholesterol order from their doctor, and having shrimp cocktail at 3 o'clock in the morning and not telling their kids about it.”
Billy Vassiliadis
“Rich bachelors should be heavily taxed. It is not fair that some men should be happier than others.”
Oscar Wilde
“By persistently remaining single a man converts himself into a permanent public temptation.”
“Bachelors know more about women than married men; if they didn't they'd be married too.”
Henry Louis Mencken
