For the other people, the babies, the young ones, I did not order them to be killed. For Son Sen and his family, yes. I feel sorry for that. That was a mistake that occurred when we put our plan into practice. I feel sorry.

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

I came to carry out the struggle, not to kill people.

The sick are victims of their own imagination.

Even now, and you can look at me, am I a savage person? My conscience is clear.

He who protests is an enemy; he who opposes is a corpse.

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.
