The American people are sheep. They're comfortable, rich, working. It's like the Romans, they're happy with bread and their spectator sports. The Super Bowl means more to them than any right.

More quotes by Jack Kevorkian
I'm not lying to myself like most people.
Jack Kevorkian
My religion centers in different areas than what's considered conventional religion.
Jack Kevorkian
My aim in helping the patient was not to cause death. My aim was to end suffering. It's got to be decriminalized.
Jack Kevorkian
I always said all my life, if I wasn't born and they gave me the question, I'd say, I don't want to be born.
Jack Kevorkian
I hate to say this, but I'll repeat it: After death, all we know that you do is stink.
Jack Kevorkian
I got to dislike parties, like Jefferson and Madison. I think they're harmful. But the system is flawed so badly. I like what Plato said, long ago. Democracy is fit only for a small country. Can't survive in a large country.
Jack Kevorkian
I would not want to live with a tube in my neck and not be able to move a finger. I wouldn't - that to me is not life.
Jack Kevorkian
Listen, when you take my liberty away, you've taken away more-something more precious than life. I mean, what good is a life without liberty? Huh? None.
Jack Kevorkian
I'd find it demeaning to be cleaning toilets.
Jack Kevorkian
She made the decision that her existence had lost its meaning. And you cannot judge that.
Jack Kevorkian
The patient decides when it's best to go.
Jack Kevorkian
First of all, do any of you here think it's a crime to help a suffering human end his agony? Any of you think it is? Say so right now. Well, then, what are we doing here?
Jack Kevorkian
When your conscience says law is immoral, don't follow it.
Jack Kevorkian
If you don't have liberty and self-determination, you've got nothing, that's what this is what this country is built on. And this is the ultimate self-determination, when you determine how and when you're going to die when you're suffering.
Jack Kevorkian
I have no regrets, none whatsoever.
Jack Kevorkian
Anytime you interfere with a natural process, you're playing God. God determines what happens naturally. That means when a person's ill, he shouldn't go to a doctor because he's asking for interference with God's will. But of course, patients can't think that way.
Jack Kevorkian
I suppose, if helping a patient die is killing, I suppose I'm a killer.
Jack Kevorkian
None of them want to delay. Understand that. None of them.
Jack Kevorkian
I'm not the kind of guy who has best friends.
Jack Kevorkian
All the big powers... they've silenced me. So much for free speech and choice on this fundamental human right.
Jack Kevorkian
