"We [Westboro Baptist Church] actually saw ourselves as living out meaningful values, like courage. These attacks [against us] only furthered our feelings that we were being persecuted for telling a hard truth to the world... How was it that I could be so certain that I was right but be wrong for so long?" - Megan Phelps-Roper

"When you have unresolved anger, bitterness, and humiliation, that's aggression in search of a target. And when you feel downtrodden, abused and humiliated, there is a vindictive impulse. You want revenge, not just justice. But often the person we take revenge against is not really the person responsible, but rather they are a symbol of the all pain we feel... a scapegoat." - Natalie
