Jack Kevorkian
This is not a trial. This is a lynching. There is no law.
Jack Kevorkian
All the big powers... they've silenced me. So much for free speech and choice on this fundamental human right.
Jack Kevorkian

Jack Kevorkian
Everyone is going to die. Aren't you interested in what's going to happen?
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
I'm not the kind of guy who has best friends.
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
My ultimate aim is to make euthanasia a positive experience.
Jack Kevorkian
Five to six thousand people die every year waiting for organs, but nobody cares.
