More quotes by Jack Kevorkian
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.
Jack Kevorkian
None of them want to delay. Understand that. None of them.
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
Everyone is going to die. Aren't you interested in what's going to happen?
Jack Kevorkian
I'm not lying to myself like most people.
Jack Kevorkian
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.
Jack Kevorkian
This is not a trial. This is a lynching. There is no law.
Jack Kevorkian
If Christ can die in a barn, I think the death of a human in a van is not so bad.
Jack Kevorkian
All the big powers... they've silenced me. So much for free speech and choice on this fundamental human right.
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
What looks like enjoyment is the sneer of contempt. That's not a smile.
Jack Kevorkian
My ultimate aim is to make euthanasia a positive experience.
Jack Kevorkian
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.
Jack Kevorkian
If a man is terrified, it's up to me to dispel that terror.
Jack Kevorkian
I suppose, if helping a patient die is killing, I suppose I'm a killer.
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
Among doctors in general, I think more than half support what I'm doing.
Jack Kevorkian
I'd find it demeaning to be cleaning toilets.
Jack Kevorkian
I have no regrets, none whatsoever.
Jack Kevorkian
When your conscience says law is immoral, don't follow it.
