General Gorean Sayings:
It is seldom wise,
incidentally, to impugn, or attempt to manipulate, the honor of
a Gorean. ~ Mercenaries of Gor - Page 297
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 Stone should stand, for matters of
honor are here involved, and honor is respected in the barbaric codes of Gor. ~
Tarnsman of Gor - Page 27
Let those who
can climb mountains climb them; let those who cannot climb them console
themselves with denying their existence. ~ Rogue of Gor - Page 19
Goreans have
a theory that there are only two sorts of women, slaves and slaves. ~ Players of
Gor - Page 62
"To share the
kettle of a friend," I said, "is to dine with a Ubar." ~
Blood Brothers of Gor - Page 349
"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 - Page 11
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
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 - Page 17
Goreans 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
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
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 - Page 10
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
It is said," said Verna, "that
Ka-la-na makes any woman slave, if but for an hour." ~ Captive of Gor
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 - Page 290
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 - Page 458
