mind had been clear and adventurous, driving her to experiences which her body could not fully satisfy: as for instance playing the flute with inhibited fingers that were not sinuous enough. But through it all confidence in her own mind supplied a courage to keep her constantly striving towards others to enrich life through sharing and affection. Now she has to put her experiences down modestly and simply; there is no self-pity here, the pain is endured, the stupidity of the world is accepted, but it is not allowed to impinge on the openness and clarity of her mind with rich awareness of values." 1980.When the phone rings, my bed shakes: memoirs of a deaf doctor

un plongeon dans une piscine. Il heurte le fond du bassin, dont l'eau n'est pas assez profonde, et se déplace les vertèbres. Bien qu'on lui annonce qu'il restera probablement paralysé à vie, il retrouve peu à peu l'usage de ses jambes après une année de rééducation. Quand il se lance dans une carrière d'auteur-chanteur-slameur, en 2003, c'est en référence aux séquelles de cet accident...
