I'm quite satisfied on one thing: If we had not carried out our struggle, Cambodia would have become another Kampuchea Krom in 1975.

I did not join the resistance movement to kill people, to kill the nation. Look at me now. Am I a savage person? My conscience is clear.

I want you to know that everything I did, I did for my country.

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.

Hunger is the most effective disease.

No gain in keeping, no loss in weeding out.

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