"Nobody loves me and I don't love nobody and I'm goin' out in the back garden to eat worms." This is the modern fashion of definition of the idea which used to be expressed as "biting off one's nose to spite one's face." Every one knows what it is like to feel that "nobody loves man and I don't love nobody." March, 1904.
