What are friends? Some people are nice. Some people aren't. There are some I'm fairly close with... we talk.

The Jews were gassed. Armenians were killed in every conceivable way... So the Holocaust doesn't interest me, see? They've had a lot of publicity, but they didn't suffer as much.

The public has no power. The government knows I'm not a criminal. The parole board knows I'm not a criminal. The judge knows I'm not a criminal.

Am I a criminal? The world knows I'm not a criminal. What are they trying to put me in jail for? You've lost common sense in this society because of religious fanaticism and dogma.

Image
You're basing your laws and your whole outlook on natural life on mythology. It won't work. That's why you have all these problems in the world. Name them: India, Pakistan, Ireland. Name them-all these problems. They're all religious problems.

I don't enjoy good food. I don't enjoy flashy cars. I don't care if I live in a dump. I don't enjoy good clothes. This is the best I've dressed in months.

Image
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.

I have no regrets, none whatsoever.

I think the Supreme Court does have the authority, which is not used, to declare a blanket right for all people, all adults.

Image
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.

I am not a sentimental person.

Image
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.

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.

Five to six thousand people die every year waiting for organs, but nobody cares.

Everyone is going to die. Aren't you interested in what's going to happen?

Freedom has a price. Most people aren't willing to pay it.
Jack Kevorkian
Image
I didn't do this for other people I did this for me. I fought for this right for me - does that sound selfish?

Image
All the big powers... they've silenced me. So much for free speech and choice on this fundamental human right.

My religion centers in different areas than what's considered conventional religion.

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.

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.
