What naturally you want to do if you were a prominent person in the public light and you are disgraced, you want to make a comeback, and normally that begins with somebody saying, 'I want to do something to help people. I want to do something to help the lepers in the Third World. I want to do something to help abandoned wives in India.

I had bedbugs in 2005. I felt like a leper. Worse than a leper. At least lepers had a colony they could go and live in with other people who empathized. I instead had friends stand up from tables and walk out of restaurants when I told them I had bedbugs, because they were afraid I'd transfer the bugs to them.

Lepers were a common sight all over India and in every part of Calcutta, but extending help beyond dropping a coin or two into their rag-wrapped stumps was not. As a child I was convinced even touching a spot a leper had rubbed against would lead to infection.

Indian Writer

Graham Greene

Innocence always calls mutely for protection when we would be so much wiser to guard ourselves against it: innocence is like a dumb leper who has lost his bell, wandering the world, meaning no harm.

British Novelist

Mother Teresa

I try to give to the poor people for love what the rich could get for money. No, I wouldn't touch a leper for a thousand pounds; yet I willingly cure him for the love of God.

American Musician

Winnie Harlow

I get comments saying that I'm a leper, I control how my skin changes, I bleach my skin, my skin's burned. None of those are true.

Canadian Model

Robin Williams

Having George W. Bush giving a lecture on business ethics is like having a leper give you a facial, it just doesn't work!

American Comedian

Blake Edwards

Being thrown out of this place is significantly better than being thrown out of a leper colony.

American Director

Leprosy is less common today but was widespread in the past, often mentioned in history and religion.

Historical Disease

The word 'leper' may offend; 'person with leprosy' is more respectful and currently preferred.

Sensitive Term

Used in medical or historical contexts, often with a focus on the social impact of the disease.

Medical Context

Used to describe someone avoided by others, not literally suffering from leprosy.

Social Outcast

The term carries a strong negative stigma and should be used carefully.

Negative Connotation

Carries emotional weight, often evoking pity or fear, which adds dramatic effect.

Emotionally Loaded
