Pol Pot People Quotations

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

I came to join the revolution, not to kill the Cambodian people. Look at me now. Am I a violent person? No. So, as far as my conscience and my mission were concerned, there was no problem.

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

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.
