I'm for absolute autonomy of the individual, and an adult, competent woman has absolute autonomy. It's her choice.

I'd find it demeaning to be cleaning toilets.

My aim in helping the patient was not to cause death. My aim was to end suffering. It's got to be decriminalized.

Body and soul: a horse harnessed beside an ox.

Something will be offensive to someone in every book, so you've got to fight it.

Seize the moment of happiness... love and be loved.

Merry Christmas to all. A Pagan holiday (BC) becomes a Religious holiday (AD). Which then becomes a Shopping holiday (USA).

True happiness lies within you.

Success is never owned, it is rented, and the rent is due every day.
