Quote by Helen Rowland

A bachelor never quite gets over the idea that he is a thing of beauty and a boy forever.

A bachelor never quite gets over the idea that he is a thing

Summary

This quote suggests that bachelors tend to hold onto a perception of themselves as both attractive and youthful, even as they age. It implies that they may resist taking on the responsibilities and maturity associated with committed relationships or marriage. The quote also hints at the idea that bachelors see themselves as inherently charming or desirable, perhaps placing a higher value on their own freedom and independence. Overall, it captures the ambivalent attitude that some bachelors may have towards growing older and settling down.
