Women overrate the influence of fine dress and the latest fashions upon gentlemen; and certain it is, that the very expensiveness of such attire frightens the beholder from all ideas of matrimony.

Abba Louisa Goold Woolson

Both the young and the old are almost completely useless in our modern society, and are made keenly aware of that uselessness. They have no place. They are private, isolated - and hopeless.

Carl Rogers

Women are always anxious to urge bachelors to matrimony; is it from charity, or revenge ?.

Louis Gustave Vapereau

Men who don't understand women fall into two groups: Bachelors and Husbands.

Daniel Tosh

Give women the vote, and in five years there will be a crushing tax on bachelors.

George Bernard Shaw

People always assume that bachelors are single by choice and spinsters because nobody asked them. It never enters their heads that poor bachelors might have worn the knees of their trousers out proposing to girls who rejected them or that a girl might deliberately stay unmarried.

Jilly Cooper

Bachelors know more about women than married men; if they didn't they'd be married too.

H. L. Mencken

Walter Russell

George Eliot

We segregate men from women, and no matter how many times we insist that men and women are equal, men and women should be treated the same, when it comes to the moment of excretion, even the most modern society - especially the most modern society - segregates two restrooms with little icons outside the doors, one wearing a dress, one wearing pants.

W. J. T. Mitchell

We've demonstrated in modern countries or industrialized countries that women can do what men can do, but we have not demonstrated that men can do what women can do therefore children are still mostly raised, hugely mostly raised by women and women in industrialized modern countries end up having two jobs one outside the home and one inside the home.

Gloria Steinem

It's modern day. It is modern day. Some of the cars are older but it is absolutely modern day. There are modern cars in it, modern people, modern clothes, modern talk. We wrote 'Valentine' to sort of pay tribute to all the old slasher movies that we grew up with and I think that we did that.

Todd Farmer

Nowadays, all the married men live like bachelors, and all the bachelors like married men.

Oscar Wilde

Instead of a few hundreds of thousands of men meeting each other in war, millions would now meet, and modern weapons would multiply manifold the power of destruction.
