More quotes by Jack Kevorkian

I learned to smile by going through hell. Now I know what hell is and you don't. I can't tell you how it is, cause you can't do it with words.
Jack Kevorkian
In quixotically trying to conquer death doctors all too frequently do no good for their patients' ease but at the same time they do harm instead by prolonging and even magnifying patients' dis-ease.
Jack Kevorkian
Freedom has a price. Most people aren't willing to pay it.
Jack Kevorkian
What looks like enjoyment is the sneer of contempt. That's not a smile.
Jack Kevorkian
I am not a sentimental person.
Jack Kevorkian
You've gotta know what death is to know life!
Jack Kevorkian
When your conscience says law is immoral, don't follow it.
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
Many support what I am doing.
