Give me a land of boughs in leaf A land of trees that stand; Where trees are fallen there is grief; I love no leafless land.

While receiving radiation treatment for a thyroid illness, I had refused to take beta-blockers – a medication that would have eased its side effects – because they were deemed illegal by the sport’s governing body, the International Association of Athletics Federations.

I dont have a thyroid anymore. I had radioactive iodine treatment, which destroyed my thyroid. I take medication every day.

I was diagnosed with Graves’ disease, an illness of the thyroid gland. Instead of surgery, I was given radiation treatment.

I always deserve the best treatment because I never put up with any other.

My feeling is that my body and all my things inside me – when I move, when I do everything – are Brazilian because my family is Brazilian, and my mother language is Brazilian Portuguese. But all the thinking in my life, all the treatment with people, I think I’m more from Spain. That’s how I grew up.

I think being on a set where people arent being treated as equals, and with just a common level of decency and respect, is really uncomfortable.

Civil rights used to be about treating everyone the same. But today some people are so used to special treatment that equal treatment is considered to be discrimination

When people get used to preferential treatment, equal treatment seems like discrimination

There is nothing more unequal than the equal treatment of unequal people.

A society should be judged not by how it treats its outstanding citizens but by how it treats its criminals.

If you treat people right, they will treat you right—ninety percent of the time.

Every minute of every day, a child under 15 is infected with HIV – the overwhelming majority of children under 15 who are HIV-positive get infected through their mothers at birth. Without treatment, half of these children die before they reach their second birthday.
