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.
Jack Kevorkian
Five to six thousand people die every year waiting for organs, but nobody cares.
Jack Kevorkian
When history looks back, it will prove what I'll die knowing.
Jack Kevorkian
There's no doubt I expect to die in prison.
Jack Kevorkian
I hate to say this, but I'll repeat it: After death, all we know that you do is stink.
Jack Kevorkian
All the big powers... they've silenced me. So much for free speech and choice on this fundamental human right.
Jack Kevorkian
Many support what I am doing.
