'The collar is put on from without, but what it encircles comes from within. Slavery, true slavery, comes from within.'
Savages of Gor, pg. 210, by John Norman.

'It is said, in a Gorean proverb, that a man, in his heart, desires freedom, and that a woman, in her belly, yearns for love. The collar, in its way, answers both needs. The man is most free, owning the slave. He may do what he wishes with her. The woman, on the other hand, being owned, is institutionally and helplessly subject, in her status as slave, to the submissions of love.'
Slave GIrl of Gor, pg. 180, by John Norman.

Collar Information: Ko-lar:
"Ko-lar," she said, indicating her col- lar. "It is the same word in English," I cried. She did not understand my out- burst. Gorean, as I would learn, is rich in words borrowed from Earth languages; "Collar!" I said. Eta frowned. "Ko-lar," she repeated, again indicating the neck band of steel fashioned on her throat. "Ko-lar," I said, carefully following her pronunciation. Eta accepted this."
Slave GIrl of Gor, pg. 80, by John Norman. Collar lock:
"The small, heavy lock on a girls slave collar, incidentally, may be of several varieties, but almost all are cylinder locks, either of the pin or disk variety. In a girls collar lock there would be six pins or six disks, one each, it is said, for each letter of the Gorean word for female slave, kajira; the male slave , or kajirus, seldom has a locked collar; normally a band of iron is simply hammered about his neck; often he works in chains, usually with other male slaves. "
Assassins of Gor, pg. 51, by John Norman. 'The Turian collar lies loosely on the girl, a round ring; it fits so loosely that, when grasped in a mans fist, the girl can turn within it; the common Gorean collar, on the other hand, is flat, snugly fitting steel band. Both collars lock in the back, behind the girl's neck. The Turian collar is more difficult to engrave, but it, like the flat collar, will bear some legend assuring that the girl, if found, will be promptly returned to her Master.'
Nomads of Gor, pg. 19, by John Norman. Purposes of a Collar:
'The collar has four common purposes, Master,' she said, 'First, it visibly designates me as a slave, as a brand might not, should it be covered by clothing. Second, it impresses my slavery upon me. Thirdly, it identifies me to my Master. Fourthly, fourthly,'
'Fourthly?' he asked.
'Fourthly,' she said, 'it makes it easier to leash me.'
He kicked her in the side. She winced. Her response had been slow.
Explorer of Gor, pg. 70, by John Norman. She helplessly, enraged, tried to tear the slender, graceful, obdurate band from her white throat. Her fingers tore at it in frenzy, in fury, and she wept with frustration, and at last she desisted. Of course she still wore the badge of her servitude. The steel of a Gorean slave collar is not made to be removed at a girl's pleasure.
Priest Kings of Gor, pg. 40, by John Norman. Removing a Collar:
"The female slave of the Dust Legs, kneeling by the kaiila, wore a beaded collar, about an inch and a half in height. It was an attractive collar. It was laced closed, and tied snugly shut, in front of her throat. The patterns in the beading were interesting. They indicated her owner. Similar patterns are used by given individuals to identify their arrows or other personal belongings. It is particularly important to identify the arrows, for this can make a difference in the division of meat. It is death to a slave, incidentally, to remove such a collar without permission.'
Savages of Gor, pg. 214, by John Norman. Significance of a Collar:
The primary significance of the collar is that it identifies the master and his city. The collar of a given girl may be changed countless times, but the brand continues throughout to bespeak her status."
Outlaw of Gor, pg. 187, by John Norman. "The collar, thus, particularly statistically, is a symbol of excellence and quality, of value, among women. It says, in effect, "Here is a woman whom men have wanted. Here is a woman whom men have found beautiful enough, and desirable enough, to enslave."
Guardsmen of Gor, Chapter 16, by John Norman.
