- John Norman -
"Goreans care for their world.
They love the sky, the plains, the sea, the rain in the summer, the snow in the winter.
They will sometimes stand and watch clouds.
The movement of grass in the wind is very beautiful to them.
More than one Gorean poet has sung of the leaf of a Tur tree.
I have known warriors who cared for the beauty of small flowers."
----Hunters of Gor
"The Goreans, often so cruel to one another, tend to have an affection for wildlife and growing things, which they regard as free, and thereby deserving of great respect."
----Captive of Gor
"The test of a society is perhaps not its conformance or nonconformance to principles but the nature and human prosperity of its members. Let each look about himself and judge for himself the success of his own society. Man lives confused in the ruins of ideologies.
Perhaps he will someday emerge from the caves and pens of his past.
That would be a beautiful day to see. There would be a sunlit world waiting for him."
----Slave Girl of Gor
"Tears are not unbecoming to the Warrior. The Warrior is a man of deep passions and emotions. Many men cannot even understand his depths.
Do not fear your currents and your powers.
In the Warrior are the flowers and the storms.
Each is a part of him, and each is real. Accept both. Deny neither."
----Guardsman of Gor
"I once betrayed my codes," I said. "It is not my intention to do so again."
I looked at her. `One does not know, truly what it is to stand, until one has fallen.
Once one has fallen, then one knows, you see, what it is to stand."
----Beasts of Gor
"I suddenly realized the supreme power of the united Gorean will,
not divided against itself, not weak, not crippled like the wills of earth.
I felt a surge of power, of unprecedented, unexpected joy.
I had discovered what it was to be Gorean.
I had discovered what is was, truly, to be male, to be a man. I was Gorean."
----Marauders of Gor
"How beautiful women are in collars.
It is no wonder men enjoy putting them in them.
How beautiful is the collar itself, and yet how insignifigant is the beauty of the collar compared to the beauty and profundity of its meaning, that the women is owned."
----Guardsman of Gor
"The relation of master and slave, of course, in a psychophyscial organism, of a high order of intelligence, such as human being, is a beautiful and profound expression of the fundamental and central truth of animal nature, that of order and structure,
and dominance and submission.
It is merely the articulated, legalized expression, to be expected in rational organisms,
of the biological context in which human sexuality developed, a context which can be betrayed but can never because of the ingrained nature of genetic dispositions,
be fully forgotten or in the long run, successfully denied.
In denying it we deny our own 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 the way we are."
