Overview

Daniel Bell (born 31 August 1984) is an Australian swimmer born in American Samoa, who has won five Paralympic medals from 2000 to 2008. Personal Bell was born in Pago Pago, American Samoa. He was adopted by Liz Bell, a volunteer in a Samoan hospital, at the age of six months. Doctors informed her that he had cerebral palsy and brain damage, and was blind. His adoptive mother brought him back to Ocean Grove, near Geelong, determined to get support for his disabilities. He attended Christian College, Geelong, where he took up swimming. He works as a commercial diver. On 30 August 2012, he was convicted of stalking and burglary charges to which he had pleaded guilty in the Geelong Magistrates' Court. The charges related to incidents involving two women in December 2011 and January 2012; while they were away from their houses, he trespassed into their bedrooms, took his clothes off, and entered their beds. His defence lawyer stated that the incidents were due to an adverse reaction to a generic drug after being prescribed a brand-name version, and said: "He was hearing voices and ... was no longer in control of himself." He was placed on an 18-month community corrections order that required him to undergo mental health treatment and rehabilitation, along with programs to prevent re-offending.

Notable quotes

“I was born in galut [exile] and I accept—now gladly, though once in pain—the double burden and the double pleasure of my self-consciousness, the outward life of an American and the inward secret of the Jew. I walk with this sign as a frontlet between my eyes, and it is as visible to some secret others as their sign is to me.”
— “Reflections on Jewish Identity” // Commentary, 1961
“It is equally clear that what an individual often wants for himself (such as an open highway) in the aggregate becomes a nightmare.”
— Introduction, The Disjunction of Realms, p. 21
“Today, the culture can hardly, if at all, reflect the society in which people live.”
— Chapter 2, The Disjunction of Cultural Discourse, p. 95
“Every society seeks to establish a set of meanings through which people can relate themselves to the world.”
— Chapter 4, Toward the Great Instauration, p. 146
“The virtue of the market is that it disperses responsibility.”
— Chapter 5, Unstable America, p. 197
“What makes the spectacle of Western bourgeois society so repulsive is the waste and squander of resources on needless products of status or display (e.g., the large, heavy automobile; the extravagant packaging of consumer items) for the sake of consumption.”
— Chapter 6, The Public Household, p. 274
