More quotes by Jack Kevorkian

The single worst moment of my life... was the moment I was born.
Jack Kevorkian
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.

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
I have no regrets, none whatsoever.
Jack Kevorkian
Everyone is going to die. Aren't you interested in what's going to happen?
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 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
None of them want to delay. Understand that. None of them.
Jack Kevorkian
My ultimate aim is to make euthanasia a positive experience.
