The Imp of the Perverse

 

"There is a perverse mood of the mind which is rather soothed than irritated by misconstruction; and in quarters where we can never be rightly known, we take pleasure, I think, in being consummately ignored.  What honest man on being taken for a housebreaker, does not feel more tickled than vexed at the mistake?"
