More quotes by Jack Kevorkian
You've gotta know what death is to know life!
Jack Kevorkian
Five to six thousand people die every year waiting for organs, but nobody cares.
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
The patient decides when it's best to go.
Jack Kevorkian
I hate to say this, but I'll repeat it: After death, all we know that you do is stink.
Jack Kevorkian
Among doctors in general, I think more than half support what I'm doing.
Jack Kevorkian

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
What are friends? Some people are nice. Some people aren't. There are some I'm fairly close with... we talk.
Jack Kevorkian
All the big powers... they've silenced me. So much for free speech and choice on this fundamental human right.
Jack Kevorkian
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.
Jack Kevorkian
I have no regrets, none whatsoever.
Jack Kevorkian
I'm trying to knock the medical profession into accepting its responsibilities, and those responsibilities include assisting their patients with death.
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
I'm for absolute autonomy of the individual, and an adult, competent woman has absolute autonomy. It's her choice.
Jack Kevorkian
My intent was to carry out my duty as a doctor, to end their suffering. Unfortunately, that entailed, in their cases, ending of the life.
Jack Kevorkian
I didn't do this for other people I did this for me. I fought for this right for me - does that sound selfish?
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
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.
Jack Kevorkian
What looks like enjoyment is the sneer of contempt. That's not a smile.
Jack Kevorkian
