Not one has shown an iota of fear of death. They want to end this agony.

I'm not lying to myself like most people.

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.

What looks like enjoyment is the sneer of contempt. That's not a smile.

If you don't have liberty and self-determination, you've got nothing, that's what this is what this country is built on. And this is the ultimate self-determination, when you determine how and when you're going to die when you're suffering.

I will admit, like Socrates and Aristotle and Plato and some other philosophers, that there are instances where the death penalty would seem appropriate.

I would not want to live with a tube in my neck and not be able to move a finger. I wouldn't - that to me is not life.
