Mariners of Gor Quotes

A love unknown to a free woman, in its helplessness, its need, its depth,

profundity, beauty, and passion, is often felt by a woman for

the man whose collar she wears. Owned, she is his, wholly. (Mariners of Gor, Page 96)

As a man, you probably do not know what it is for a woman to kneel before a man, to be at his feet, to lift your head, to look up at him, or to keep your

head down before him, if commanded. It is symbolic of your utter otherness, of your softness before his hardness, your weakness before his strength, your slightness before his might, your beauty and helplessness before his virility and power, your readiness before his command. It is, one fears,

as though one were in one's place, before one's master. How, I ask, can a woman so situated, one on her knees, speak to a man?"

"As a woman," I suggested.

"It is a position of petition, or submission, is it not?" she

asked.

"Yes," I said. (Mariners of Gor, page 100)

"An ost," said Lord Nishida, "is not well advised to pursue

the great hith, against which its poison is useless."

This is not as surprising as it might seem, as the poison of

the ost, as that of many poisonous snakes, is prey-selective,

deadly against warm-blooded animals, such as tiny urts, its

customary prey, or even larger animals, such as verr and

tabuk, but harmless to other snakes, to certain forms of

tharlarion, and such.

"It is true," I said. (Mariners of Gor, Page 137)
