If you have a disease of the old society, take a dose of Lenin as medication.

Since he is of no use anymore, there is no gain if he lives and no loss if he dies.

There's what we did wrong and what we did right. The mistake is that we did some things against the people - by us and also by the enemy - but the other side, as I told you, is that without our struggle there would be no Cambodia right now.

Exterminate the 50 million Vietnamese and purify the masses of the [Cambodian] people.

Better to kill an innocent by mistake than spare an enemy by mistake.

When I die, my only wish is that Cambodia remain Cambodia and belong to the West. It is over for communism, and I want to stress that.

We will burn the old grass and the new will grow.
