“Everybody was there. A bachelor aunt or uncle. You would all come to the table, even some stone-deaf member of the family, usually the oldest ... and he would mumble something under his breath.”
Reynolds Price
“Rich bachelors should be heavily taxed. It is not fair that some men should be happier than others.”
Oscar Wilde
“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
“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
“Nowadays, all the married men live like bachelors, and all the bachelors like married men.”
“Give women the vote, and in five years there will be a crushing tax on bachelors.”
George Bernard Shaw
