My intent was to carry out my duty as a doctor, to end their suffering. Unfortunately, that entailed, in their cases, ending of the life.
Jack Kevorkian
The American Medical Association says the humane way is to let people starve and thirst to death. If you did that to an animal, youd be put in jail immediately ... In the face of such insanity masquerading as authority, who wouldnt be strident?

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
I'm not lying to myself like most people.
Jack Kevorkian
The American people are sheep. They're comfortable, rich, working. It's like the Romans, they're happy with bread and their spectator sports. The Super Bowl means more to them than any right.
Jack Kevorkian
Many support what I am doing.
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
Five to six thousand people die every year waiting for organs, but nobody cares.
Jack Kevorkian
I'm not the kind of guy who has best friends.
Jack Kevorkian
My aim in helping the patient was not to cause death. My aim was to end suffering. It's got to be decriminalized.
Jack Kevorkian
I don't crave publicity, you know.
Jack Kevorkian
I'm for absolute autonomy of the individual, and an adult, competent woman has absolute autonomy. It's her choice.
Jack Kevorkian
All the big powers... they've silenced me. So much for free speech and choice on this fundamental human right.
