"You may judge and scorn the Goreans if you wish. Know as well, however, that they judge and scorn you. They fulfill themselves as you do not. Hate them for their pride and power. They will pity you for your shame and weakness." Beasts of Gor, pg. 11, by John Norman.

Wisdom
"Wisdom decrees that the fruit of thought must not be planted where it cannot bear fruit." Tribesmen of Gor, pg. 258, by John Norman.

Live
Do not ask the stones or the trees how to live , they can not tell you ; they do not have tongues; do not ask the wise man how to live for, if he knows , he will know he cannot tell you; if you would learn how to live , do not ask the question; its answer is not in the question but in the answer, which is not in words; do not ask how to live, but, instead, proceed to do so." Marauders of Gor, pg. 9, by John Norman.

Ritual
Ritual is important. It is fulfilling and meaningful. It is beautiful. It is symbolic, mnemonic, and instructive. It establishes protocols. It expresses, defines, and clarifies conditions. It is essential to, and ingredient within, civilization. Similarly, do not overlook the significance and value of symbolism." Vagabonds of Gor, pg. 213, by John Norman.

History
"The meaning of history lies not in the future but in the moment. It is never anywhere but within our grasp. And if the history of man, terminated, should turn out to have been but a brief flicker in the midst of unnoticing oblivious let it at least have been worthy of the moment in which it burned. But perhaps it would prove to be a spark which would, in time, illuminate a universe." Explorers of Gor, pg. 230, by John Norman.

Fear
"But do not fear. I am certain, sooner or later, you will come into the possession of one who will not only accept your slavery, in it's beauty, in it's tenderness and needfulness, in it's honesty and truth, but will celebrate it and relish it, and for whom you will be a treasure, an incredible and marvelous treasure, to be sure, one to be kept under the closest of disciplines." Magicians of Gor, pg. 234, by John Norman.

Compliments
"Slave girls relish compliments. Indeed, there is a Gorean saying to the effect that any woman who relishes a compliment is in her heart a slave girl. She wants to please. Most Gorean men would not think twice about collaring a girl who responds, smiling, to compliments." Beasts of Gor, pg. 17, by John Norman.

Kindness
"I screamed, and screamed. I was alone with the pain, the agony, the degradation, the relentless, hissing object, so hurting me, the men. Mercifully they let me scream. It is common to let a girl scream, a Gorean kindness, while she is being marked with a white-hot iron." Slave Girl of Gor, pg. 57, by John Norman.

Natural Master
"Groeans do believe, however, that every woman has a natural Master or set of Masters, with respect to whom she could not help but be a complete and passionate slave girl." Hunters of Gor, pg. 310, by John Norman.

Talender
"Talender is a flower which, in the Gorean mind, is associated with beauty and passion. Free Companions on the Feast of their Free Companionship, commonly wear a garland of talenders. Sometimes slave girls, having been subdued, but fearing to speak, will fix talenders in their hair, that their master, may know that they have at last surrendered to him as helpless love slaves." Raiders of Gor, pg. 216, by John Norman.

Talender
" To put talenders in the neck rope of of the girl at the prow, of course, was a mockery, indicative of her possible disposition as a pleasure slave." Raiders of Gor, pg. 217, by John Norman.

Mythology
"In Gorean mythology, it is said that there was once a war between men and women and that the women lost, and the the Priest-Kings, not wishing the women to be killed, made them beautiful, but as the price of this gift decreed that they, and their daughters, to the end of time, would be the slaves of men." Dancer of Gor, pg. 352, by John Norman.

Climb
Let those who can climb mountains climb them; let those who cannot climb them console themselves with denying their existence." Rogue of Gor, pg. ??, by John Norman.

Realty
In the end, few things are real, perhaps the weight and glitter of gold, the movement and nature of weapons, a slave at one's feet, and too, perhaps, in spite of all, if we will have it so, defiance, honour, responsibility, courage, discipline, such things, such baubles, such treasures." Magicians of Gor, pg. 208, by John Norman.

Vengance
'The vengeance of a girl,' I said, `is not a light thing.' `Neither,' said he, looking at me, `is the vengeance of a warrior.' Slave Girl of Gor, pg. 352, by John Norman.

Truth
"The name of truth all prize; the face of truth most fear. Yet I think the nature of truth is not that terrible. It is just that it is different, and more beautiful than the lies." Renegades of Gor, pg. 100, by John Norman.

Pity
"At such time a man may not be spoken to, for according to the Gorean way of thinking pity humiliates both he who pities and he who is pitied. According to the Gorean way, one may love but one may not pity." Outlaw of Gor, pg. 31, by John Norman.

Name
"...from the Gorean's point of view, one of the most fearful things about slavery is that one looses one's name. That name which he has had from birth, by which he has called himself, and knows himself, that name which is so much a part of his own conception of himself, of his own true and most intimate identity, is suddenly gone." Outlaw of Gor, pg. 197, by John Norman.

Free Men
Now, with weapons and courage, perhaps for the first time, they were truly free men, for they could now defend their freedoms, and those who cannot do this are not truly free; at best they are fortunate." Raiders of Gor, pg. 301, by John Norman.

Deny
"In denying it we deny our nature. In betraying it we betray no one but ourselves. The master will never be happy until he is a master. The slave will never be happy until she is a slave. It is what we are." Explorers of Gor, pg. 159, by John Norman.

Possess
"The Gorean master desires more than a slave's submission, more than merely her body. A Gorean man is satisfied with nothing less than all of a slave. He will possess you, body and mind, heart and soul. Nothing less is acceptable." Savages of Gor, pg. 174, by John Norman.

"Do you ask my favor?"
"Do you ask my favor?" I asked, which on Gor, was much like asking if the person was willing to make a request--more simply, to say, "Please" To that small particle of respect it seemed I had a right." Tarnsman of Gor, pg. 93, by John Norman.

Sa'ng-Fori
"Outside the walls several small buildings had been burned. On the wall itself over the gate in huge letters there was scrawled the legend 'Sa'ng-Fori', literally 'Without Chains' but perhaps better translated simply as 'Freedom' or 'Liberty' Outlaw of Gor, pg. 216, by John Norman.

Tor-tu-Gor
"You see?" asked the beast, pointing upward, it seemed at a starry sky above our heads. "Yes," I said. I did not recognize the patch of the heavens above us. "That was our star," he said, "a yellow, medium-sized, slow-rotating star with a planetary system, one small enough to have sufficient longevity to nourish life, one large enough to have a suitable habitable zone." "Not unlike Tor-tu-Gor, or Sol," I said. "the common star of Earth and Gor." "Precisely," he said." Beasts of Gor, pg. 372, by John Norman.

Ta-Sadar-Gor
'I am offering a libation,' he said. 'Ta-Sardar-Gor.' 'What does that mean?' I asked, my words fumbling a bit, blurred by the liquor, made unsteady by my fear. 'It means,' laughed Cabot, a mirthless laugh, ' - to the Priest-Kings of Gor!' Outlaw of Gor, pg. 13, by John Norman.

Approaching a Camp
"In the vicinity of the camp, upon our approach to it, my captor had taken his shield from me, which I had been bearing for him. One does not approach a camp, even one's own, unarmed. One does not know what may have transpired in one's absence." Slave GIrl of Gor, pg. 46, by John Norman.

Speaking of the Home Stone
"Come to understand more of what he felt. Indeed, there is a saying on Gor, a saying whose origin is lost in the past of this strange planet, that one who speaks of Home Stones should stand, for matters of honor are here involved, and honor is respected in the barbaric codes of Gor." Tarnsman of Gor, pg. 26, by John Norman.

Slave for an hour
"It is said," said Verna, "that Ka-la-na makes any woman slave, if but for an hour." Captive of Gor, pg. 124, by John Norman.

Wants
"Every woman has a need to submit herself to a master," I said. "When she finds herself at the feet of her master her body will no longer permit her to be frigid. There is no longer any reason. She is now where nature places her, at his feet and in his power. She kisses his feet and, weeping, feeling the heat and oils between her lovely legs, cannot wait to be thrown to the furs." Beasts of Gor, pg. 245, by John Norman.

Freedom
Freedom permits a woman to live without men. Slavery makes a woman need a man's touch. The sexuality of a free woman is largely inert; the sexuality of a slave girl, on the other hand, has been deliberately and seriously activated." Beasts of Gor, pg. 225, by John Norman.

Desires
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.

Second Knowledge
A Gorean saying, of the second knowledge, has it that a steel collar locked on the throat of an Earth woman is perfect." Slave Girl of Gor, pg. 290, by John Norman.

Chains in Port Kar
There is a saying in Gorean, that the chains of a slave girl are heaviest in Port Kar. I did not think, truthfully, however, that Port Kar was unusual in its treatment of female slaves. Gorean men, generally, are not easy with them. The saying is probably motivated not so much by an objective analysis of the treatment of enslaved women in that city as by the fear and distrust which Port Kar has historically precipitated in the hearts of its enemies." Explorers of Gor, pg. 458, by John Norman.
