Jack Kevorkian

I suppose, if helping a patient die is killing, I suppose I'm a killer.

I am not a sentimental person.

I have no regrets, none whatsoever.

You've gotta know what death is to know life!

I'm not the kind of guy who has best friends.

I knew I was getting into one of the most illegal things in the world. It was the right thing to do.

Everyone is going to die.

I'm not radical.

I want some colleague to be free to come help me when I say the time has come. That's what I'm fighting for, me. Now that sounds selfish. And if it helps somebody else, so be it.

If a man is terrified, it's up to me to dispel that terror.

When your conscience says law is immoral, don't follow it.

When history looks back, it will prove what I'll die knowing.

There is nothing anyone can do anyway. 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.

I'd find it demeaning to be cleaning toilets.

What are friends? Some people are nice. Some people aren't. There are some I'm fairly close with... we talk.

Look at the forces against me. They don't want me out. They're afraid I'll cause trouble if I get out.

I didn't do this for other people; I did this for me. I fought for this right for me - does that sound selfish?

All the big powers they've silenced me. So much for free speech and choice on this fundamental human right.

There's no doubt I expect to die in prison.

Rotten travesty. Yeah. Send me to jail for contempt. Try that. Go ahead.
