Intrepid Journeys - Cambodia (Kerre Woodham)

In other genocides, there is a clear "other" group - another ethnic group or religious sect that become the enemy. Here, your neighbour or your parents - someone the same as you - becomes the enemy. Anyone could denounce you and the line between life and death becomes increasingly fine and the criteria for being denounced became increasingly arbitrary and random.

– Kerre Woodham on the genocide led by Pol Pot, in her Cambodian travel diary

You can't feel pity for the Cambodians; they deserve more than pity. You can feel empathy for their plight. But pity...they're too fabulous, they're too strong to be pitied. They just need a break.

– Kerre Woodham
