"Whereas I was of high caste and he was of low, yet in his own hut he would be, by the laws of Gor, a prince and sovereign, for then he would be in the place of his own Home Stone."
Outlaw of Gor, p. 28

"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, p. 31

"Then as sleen hunters do for luck , I cut through the fur of the sleen and ate the heart. It is said that only the heart of the mountain larl brings more luck then that of the vicious ,cunning sleen."
Outlaw of Gor, p. 37

"Goreans do not generally favor begging, and some regard it as an insult that there should be such, an insult to them and their city. When charity is in order, as when a man cannot work or a woman is alone, usually such is arranged through the caste organization, but sometimes through the clan, which is not specifically caste oriented but depends on ties of blood through the fifth degree."
Assassins of Gor, p. 12

" Goreans are extremely sensitive about names, and who may speak them. Indeed,particularly those of low caste, even have use names, concealing their true names, lest they be discovered by enemies and used to conjure spells against them."
Assassins of Gor, p. 12

" Whereas it is only the men of high caste who elect members to the Council of the City,the gold of merchants and the will of the general populace is seldom disregarded in their choices."
Assassins of Gor, p. 16

"I knew that only those who were free would be permitted to make a city. Doubtless there were many slaves in Ko-ro-ba but they would be allowed only to serve those who raised the walls and towers. Not one stone could be placed in either wall or tower by a man or woman who was not free. the only city I know of on Gor which was built by the labor of slaves, beneath the lash of Masters, is Port Kar which lies in the delta of the Vosk."
Assassins of Gor, p. 60

"His (would be Assassin) head now lay half severed, blood on the peasants sandals.Gorean men are not patient with such as he."
Beasts of Gor, p. 102

"The Gorean is suspicious of the stranger, particularly in the vicinity of his native walls.Indeed, in Gorean the same word is used for both stranger and enemy."
Outlaw of Gor, p. 49

" On gor, incidentally, chairs have special significance, and do not often occur in private dwellings. They tend to be reserved for significant personages, such as administratorsand judges. Moreover, although you may find this hard to understand,they are not thought to be comfortable."
Priest Kings of Gor, p. 46

"The Gorean Male, at ease, usually sits cross legged and the female kneels, resting back on her heals."
Priest Kings of Gor, p. 46

"This harsh treatment, incidentally, when she is thought to deserve it, may even be inflicted on a free companion, in spite of the fact that she is free and usually much loved. According to the Gorean way of looking at things a taste of the slave ring is thought to be occasionally beneficial to all women, even the exalted free woman. Thus when she has been irratable or otherwise troublesome even a Free Companion may find herself at the foot of the couch looking forward to a pleasant night on the stones, stripped, with neither mat nor blanket, chained to the slave ring precisely as though she were a lowly slave girl. It is the Gorean way of reminding her, should she need to be reminded, that she, too, is a woman, and thus to be dominated, to be subject to men. Should she be tempted to forget this basic fact of Gorean life the slave ring set in the bottom of each Gorean couch is there to refresh her memory. Gor is a man`s world."
Priest Kings of Gor, p. 67

"Gorean slavery is categorical and absolute. The slave is property, an animal. She is incapable of doing anything to alter, change oraffect her status. She is owned by the master, and owes him all. Shecan be bought and sold. She must serve with perfection."
Renegades of Gor, p. 386

"When we did pass an occassional traveler, we passed warily. On Gor, as in my native England, one keeps to the left side of the road. This practice, as once in England, is more than a matter of simple convention. When one keeps to the left side of the road,one's sword arm faces the passing stranger."
Tribesman of Gor, p. 113

"Which way shall we go?" I asked."Go to the right," said Kinsu."Why?" I asked."I am English. It seemed to me more natural to pass on the left. That way, of course, one's sword arm faces the fellow on the on the other side of the road who might be passing you. Surely it is safer to keep a stranger on your right. Gorean's generally, incidently,  like the English, I am pleased to say, keep to the left of a road. They, too, you see, are a  sensible folk. They do this, explicitly, for reasons quite similar to those which long ago presumably prompted the English custom, namely, provision for defense, and the facilitation, if it seems desirable, of aggression. Most Goreans, like most men of Earth, are right handed. This is natural, as always most all goreans seem to be derived from human stock. In Gorean, as in certain Earth languages, the same word is used for both stranger and enemy.""In entering a village on the Ngao coast," said Kinsu, "one always enters on the right.""Why is that?" I asked."One thus exposes one's side to the blade of the other," said Kinsu."Is that wise?" I asked."How better," asked Kinsu, "to show that one comes in peace?"
Explorers of Gor, pp 282-283

"Race, incidentally, is not a serious matter generally for Goreans, perhaps because of the intermixtures of people.Language and city, and caste, however, are matters of great moment tothem, and provide sufficient basis for thediscriminations in which human beings take such great delight."
Beasts of Gor, p. 156

"'Tal," said I. Lifting my right hand to them, palm facing to the left.They did not respond.The captain stepped forth. They didn't seem then to me to be pleasant fellows."Who are you?" asked the captain."One who has greeted you." I said."
Beasts of Gor, p. 112

"Gorean men ... you will learn are less tolerant of pretense then men of earth."
