Bachelors Quotes
Some voices argue that bachelors should be heavily taxed, saying it’s unfair for single men to enjoy more happiness. Others contrast a bachelor’s open future with a married man’s settled past, or joke about the difficulty of playing an old bachelor on stage. A few even link bachelorhood to political ideas like voting rights and taxes.

Pease and myself room together; and everything like order and neatness is banished from our presence as a nuisance--old letters and old boots and shoes, duds clean and duds dirty, books and newspapers, tooth-brushes…” quote by Rutherford B.
