Any closer would unravel her mystery, the very thing which made her so truly beautiful...It was her mystery that he adored. He was in love with everything that he did not know about her... No real sexual encounter could ever match the secret one that he could nurture in his imagination... No living flesh could ever be the erotic equal of flesh kept private, untouchable and unknowable

In Ben Elton's "Blind Faith," the protagonist finds himself captivated by a woman whose allure stems from her enigma. The deeper he delves into her life, the fear of losing her mystery looms large, as it is this very obscurity that he finds so enchanting. His infatuation thrives on the unknown aspects of her personality, which fuels his imagination and desire. The narrative explores the idea that fantasy can often be more enticing than reality. The protagonist believes that nothing could compare to the thrill of an imagination filled with secrets, as no physical intimacy could rival the allure of someone who remains a mystery. This notion underscores the theme that the complexity of human connection sometimes lies in what remains unsaid or undiscovered.

My life amounts to no more than one drop in a limitless ocean. Yet what is any ocean, but a multitude of drops?

People pontificate, "Suicide is selfishness." Career churchmen like Pater go a step further and call in a cowardly assault on the living. Oafs argue this specious line for varying reason: to evade fingers of blame, to impress one's audience with one's mental fiber, to vent anger, or just because one lacks the necessary suffering to sympathize. Cowardice is nothing to do with it - suicide takes considerable courage. Japanese have the right idea. No, what's selfish is to demand another to endure an intolerable existence, just to spare families, friends, and enemies a bit of soul-searching.

Books don't offer real escape, but they can stop a mind scratching itself raw.

You say you're 'depressed' - all i see is resilience. You are allowed to feel messed up and inside out. It doesn't mean you're defective - it just means you're human.
by David Mitchell
I believe there is another world waiting for us. A better world. And I'll be waiting for you there.
