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 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
Many support what I am doing.
Jack Kevorkian
My religion centers in different areas than what's considered conventional religion.
Jack Kevorkian
What looks like enjoyment is the sneer of contempt. That's not a smile.
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
The single worst moment of my life... was the moment I was born.
Jack Kevorkian
When history looks back, it will prove what I'll die knowing.
Jack Kevorkian
Dying is not a crime.
Jack Kevorkian
I'm not the kind of guy who has best friends.
Jack Kevorkian
All the big powers... they've silenced me. So much for free speech and choice on this fundamental human right.
