Eric Rudolph Quotations

I would do anything to take that night back.

I would do anything to take back that night. To these victims, I apologise.

The purpose of the attack on July 27th (1996) was to confound, anger and embarrass the Washington government in the eyes of the world for its abominable sanctioning of abortion on demand.

I sincerely hoped to achieve my objectives without harming innocent civilians.

I can't begin to truly understand the pain that I have inflicted on these innocent people, ... To those victims, I apologize.

Because I believe that abortion is murder, I also believe that force is justified in an attempt to stop it.

I am not anarchist. I have nothing against government or law enforcement in general. It is solely for the reason that this govt has legalized the murder of children that I have no allegiance to nor do I recognize the legitimacy of this particular government in Washington.

Most of them have, of course, an agenda; mostly born-again Christians looking to save my soul. I suppose the assumption is made that because I'm in here I must be a 'sinner' in need of salvation, and they would be glad to sell me a ticket to heaven, hawking this salvation like peanuts at a ballgame. I do appreciate their charity, but I could really do without the condescension. They have been so nice I would hate to break it to them that I really prefer Nietzsche to the Bible.
