More quotes by 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
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
All the big powers... they've silenced me. So much for free speech and choice on this fundamental human right.
Jack Kevorkian
When history looks back, it will prove what I'll die knowing.
Jack Kevorkian
I hate to say this, but I'll repeat it: After death, all we know that you do is stink.
Jack Kevorkian
If a man is terrified, it's up to me to dispel that terror.
Jack Kevorkian
I have no regrets, none whatsoever.
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.
