1	75	My heart was beating.	10
1	192	As the thin, sharp beam struck the face of the compass, my heart stopped.	10
5	63	In my heart I knew I would not carry out this plan.	10
6	8	My heart began to beat wildly, and I considered the facility with which I might yet wing my way from Ar.	10
7	125	My heart leaped with joy as I heard her whimpering, choking gasps, her lungs spasmodically sucking in the fetid but vivifying air.	10
7	162	"You dirty, filthy, stinking, ungrateful animal!" Wild with anger, I picked up the dagger and for an instant felt tempted to plunge it into the heart of the treacherous girl.	10
7	192	"With all my heart, Warrior," she pleaded, "the daughter of a Ubar, on her knees, begs your favor.	10
11	8	I said nothing, knowing in my heart that I, in my way, had been responsible for this vast martial array on the banks of the Vosk.	10
11	99	Her heart beat wildly against my breast.	10
12	97	He was fleeing! I twisted about in his claws, and my heart seemed to jerk spasmodically in my breast.	10
12	137	He had died the instant the spear had entered his heart.	10
14	94	As I fought, I could hear the lion laughter of Marlenus behind me, as what had been a simple impalement turned into a fight of the sort after his own heart.	10
15	49	Soon, my heart beating quickly, my features concealed by the helmet I had taken from the warrior in the Voltai, I approached the compound of Mintar.	10
16	49	Then, in the fourth week of the siege, my heart fell.	10
16	93	With a heavy heart I watched Kazrak loop his sword belt over his shoulder and pick up his helmet.	10
16	102	I began to walk with a quickened pace, my heart began to beat powerfully, and I felt the elation of decision.	10
16	127	My heart was beating so loudly I wondered that they didn't hear it.	10
17	2	It was with a heart filled with bitterness that I left the compound of the Assassin and returned to Kazrak's tent.	10
17	12	Yet nothing but the sight of my beloved would have brought me more satisfaction than driving my sword into the heart of the Assassin.	10
17	71	My heart leaped.	10
18	3	I felt sorry for him, knowing that that sight, if any, would crush the heart of the fierce Ubar.	10
18	30	At a word from the officer a hundred spears would have sought my heart.	10
18	173	The thought flamed through me in the violent delirium of battle that in those moments I was many men, an army, that no man could stand against me, that it was not my blade or my heart they faced but something I myself only dimly sensed, something intangible but irresistible, an avalanche, a storm, a...	10
19	27	Once again alone, sick at heart, I loosened my spear and shield in their saddle straps.	10
19	63	The spear flashed through the air like a bolt of lightning and struck the oncoming magistrate in the chest, passing through his body and burying itself in the heart of his companion.	10
20	45	Men can die, but not of a broken heart, for if that were possible, I would now be dead.	10
20	49	I could not believe this in my heart of hearts, but my mind, forcefully and coolly, required this conclusion.	10
20	50	I struggled to my feet, my heart torn with grief.	10
20	52	I fell on my knees and snatched it up, my eyes bursting with tears, my heart knowing the full sweep of the saddest joy that can overwhelm a man.	10

Chapter #	Sentence #	Quote	Confidence
2	15	There was no love in my heart for the Priest-Kings, those mysterious denizens of the Sardar Mountains, whoever or whatever they might be, but there was gratitude in my heart, either to them or to the strange forces that moved them.	10
13	160	Had I won my freedom? Was it thus in the Amusements of Tharna? Or had the fierce, proud Tatrix now recognized the cruelty of the Amusements? Had that heart hidden in those cold, glistening robes of unfeeling gold at last relented, shown itself to be susceptible of compassion? Or had the call of just...	10
1	5	He was quiet and pleasant, though sometimes he seemed remote, or lonely, somehow unwilling to break through that protective shield of formality behind which the educated Englishman, at heart perhaps as sentimental and hot-blooded as any man, attempts to conceal his feelings.	10
2	84	My step was light, my heart was happy.	10
4	90	Then, as sleen hunters do, for luck, and because I was hungry, I took my sword and cut through the fur of the animal and ate the heart.	10
4	91	It is said that only the heart of the mountain larl brings more luck than that of the vicious and cunning sleen.	10
4	104	In that brief moment, in the tiny pool of blood I held, I saw not myself but a strange face, like a globe of gold with disklike eyes, a face like none I had ever seen, a face that struck an eerie terror into my heart.	10
4	109	Its heart had given me strength.	10
5	99	It was an ugly death—his for having tried to speak to me, for having tried to tell me what was in his heart.	10
6	119	The Gorean is keenly susceptible to beauty; it gladdens his heart, and his songs and art are often paeans to its glory.	10
7	102	"Soon, when you have been properly prepared, you will be dressed in costly pleasure silk, given sandals perhaps, scarves, veils and jewels, garments to gladden the heart of a maiden".	10
7	119	"And there," he said, "as a good man of Tharna should, I will revere her to my heart's content".	10
8	6	On the whole they seemed to me a pale and depressed lot, but I was confident they could accomplish what they set their minds to, that they might succeed in tasks which the average Gorean male, with his impatience and lightness of heart, would simply abandon as distasteful or not worth the effort, fo...	10
8	61	Tharna was not a city to lift the heart of a man.	10
14	35	My heart was beating wildly.	10
15	31	He continues to mount the birds, to climb to their saddle with a heart filled with joy, to draw upon the one-strap and, with a cry of exultation, to urge the monster aloft.	10
15	95	I knew that if there was anything that struck terror into the heart of the Tatrix, it was the tarn.	10
20	104	Through the beast's back I could feel the straining of his muscles, sense the mad pounding of that unconquerable heart.	10
21	237	Upon reflection it seemed clear to me that the chain must, in the end, be a lonely place for a girl, filled with life, knowing that her brand has destined her for love, that each of them must long for a man to care enough for them to buy them, that each must long to follow a man home to his compartm...	10
23	148	I gathered that he had not enjoyed the performance of his duty, and that perhaps his heart lay with the rebels, but the pride of his caste had kept him at his post.	10
25	117	I suddenly knew the answer, that Thorn somehow had loved this cruel woman, that his warrior's heart had been turned to her though he had never looked upon her face, though she had never given him a smile or the touch of her hand.	10
26	79	I hope with all my heart that he will find it.	10

1	105	I have been unable to learn the fate of my father, my friends, my warrior companions, and my beloved Talena, she who was the daughter of Marlenus, who had once been Ubar of Ar—my sweet, fierce, wild, gentle, savage, beautiful love, she who is my Free Companion, my Talena, forever the Ubara of...	10
2	121	On the other hand if I were under the larl I would have a brief but clean strike at the great, pounding, eight-valved heart that lies in the center of its breast.	10
2	122	My heart sank for I heard another growl, that of a second beast.	10
3	89	It seemed that my heart stopped beating.	10
4	60	I lifted the spear and my eyes which must have been terrible in the apertures of my helmet were fixed on the heart of the man who sat upon the throne.	10
5	18	Her full, red lips, which could have torn the heart of a man, seemed to pout; they were sensuous, unobtrusively rebellious, perhaps subtly contemptuous.	10
7	1	I Hunt for Priest-Kings In spite of Vika's protests it was with a light heart that I strode into the passageway beyond her chamber.	10
7	44	I found it difficult to remove from my mind the image of the two Chamber Slaves, and that of Vika, perhaps because the plight of these girls touched my heart, perhaps because each, though differently, was beautiful.	10
9	34	In the house of Priest-Kings there could be no love, nor could she know her own mind in these matters, and there was always Talena, whose image would never be eradicated from my heart.	10
14	156	I would learn later, however, that this simple fact was indeed almost incomprehensible to Priest-Kings, and that Misk, though he readily accepted it as a fact in his mind, could not bring himself, so to speak, in the furthest reaches of his heart to acknowledge it as true, for were not both he and S...	10
19	60	My heart fell.	10
19	62	Then it occurred to me that there must be some vital center not mentioned by Sarm, probably a crucial organ or organs for pumping the body fluids of the Priest-Kings, most simply something corresponding to the heart.	10
19	66	I would expect to find the heart, or its correspondent organ or organs, in the thorax, but then I would have supposed that the respiratory cavities were also in the thorax and I knew that they were actually in the abdomen.	10
22	39	"A heart for example?" "Nothing that will be of great use," said Misk.	10
23	57	A cry of horror from the bottom of my heart broke from my lips in that dark passage and I turned and raced madly back down the path I had come.	10
24	62	Bending my ear to her heart I was pleased to detect its faint beat.	10
25	75	I could hear the clear beat of her heart, and the pulse was now strong.	10
26	248	"Every woman in her heart," said Vika, "wants to wear the chains of a man".	10
26	272	"I wanted to be free but I knew that you owned me—though you had not touched me nor kissed me—I knew that I was from that moment your slave; your eyes told me that I was owned and my most secret heart acknowledged it".	10
28	122	It was no longer in my heart to be cruel to Vika of Treve, no matter who or what she might be.	10
29	74	My heart leaped! Ground fire! I could imagine Misk hastening to his tools and the vast assemblage of instrumentation in his shop, or perhaps sending an outraged Priest-King to some secret arsenal where lay a forbidden weapon, one to which Misk would never have had recourse were it not for the hideou...	10
30	38	My heart sank.	10
30	120	Though my body burned from the whip, I was more hurt by the thought of Vika, surprisingly perhaps, hurt by the thought that I had known who and what she was all along, though somewhere in my heart I had always hoped I was wrong.	10
32	28	Misk, carrying Sarm, and the other Priest-Kings and humans, including Vika and myself, made our way from the Power Plant and back toward the complex which had been the heart of Sarm's territory.	10
32	325	He turned it suddenly and a jolt of fire that threw him five feet back into the cave leapt from that tiny instrument and the nearest larl suddenly reared, its paws lifted wildly, its fangs bared, its snowy pelt burned black about the hole that had once housed its heart, and then it twisted and fell ...	10
32	328	"Can you strike through to the heart of a larl?" he asked.	10
32	332	"Good," said Parp, not flinching, "follow me!" Vika screamed and I cried out for him to stop, but Parp dashed forward and threw himself into the jaws of the startled larl and it lifted him in its jaws and began to shake him savagely, and I was at its feet and thrust my sword between its ribs, plungi...	10
32	335	I drew out the sword and thrust it again and again into the heart of the larl until at last it lay still.	10
33	23	In my heart something seemed to be speaking, but I could not dare to listen.	10
33	125	I had intended to make use of that moment myself, pretending to have come with a message from Priest-Kings, to encourage man to live as I wished him to live, to respect himself and others, to be kind and to be worthy of the heritage of a rational animal, and yet of what worth would these things be i...	10
33	150	"We speak not to man's heart," said Om, "but only to his fear.	10
34	113	"If I loved you only a little less," she said, "I would find Talena of Ar myself and thrust a dagger into her heart".	10
35	30	My heart leaped! "Yes," he said, "the expression is now ours as well as yours and you and those like you have taught us its meaning".	10

Chapter #	Sentence #	Quote	Confidence
3	3	So gambling all on the respect of the Wagon Peoples for the courage of men, I made no move to defend myself but, heart pounding, blood racing, yet no sign visible of agitation on my face, without a quiver of a muscle or tendon betraying me, I stood calmly erect.	10
4	69	I went to him and set the point of the Gorean short sword at his heart.	10
7	254	How she had challenged him, how she had walked, how insolent she had been! Perhaps in that moment she thought how amused the man might be could he see her now, that proud girl, now in the Sirik, her head to the pelt of a larl, kneeling to barbarians, begging to be a slave girl; and if she thought of...	10
8	38	The Wagon Peoples sometimes are also willing to barter silks to the Turians, but commonly they keep these for their own slave girls, who wear them in the secrecy of the wagons; free women, incidentally, among the Wagon Peoples are not permitted to wear silk; it is claimed by those of the Wagons, del...	10
8	112	My heart leaped.	10
8	182	My heart sank.	10
8	310	She would receive a start of fifteen beats of the great heart of the kaiila, after which she would be about half way to the lance.	10
8	441	My heart sank a bit.	10
9	201	My heart was beating with great rapidity.	10
10	217	I could hear, like the throbbing of a heart, the beating of the two tharlarion drums that set the cadence of the march.	10
10	454	The saber, incidentally, is not only unpopular among the Wagon Peoples but among the warriors of Gor generally; it is regarded as being too long and clumsy a weapon for the close, sharp combat so dear to the heart of the warrior of the cities; further it is not of much use from the saddle of a tarn ...	10
10	562	Each time the Turian struck and I would have thought Kamchak slain, somehow, incomprehensibly, at the last instant, nearly causing my heart to stop, with a surprised, weary little twitch, the blade of the Tuchuk would slide the Turian steel harmlessly to the side.	10
11	259	Perhaps this was because Tenchika's heart was elsewhere, in the wagon of Albrecht of the Kassars.	10
11	330	"I will kill myself first," cried Aphris, posing the quiva over her heart.	10
11	341	She threw back her hand with the knife to rush forward and thrust it into the heart of Kamchak but the coil of the whip lashed forth and I saw its stinging tip wrap four times about the wrist and forearm of the Turian girl who cried out in sudden pain and Kamchak had stepped to the side and with a m...	10
11	362	"I think," I said, "that you have won this night but I warn you that the girl from Turia will think again of the quiva and the heart of a Tuchuk warrior".	10
12	253	Aphris, for her part, though the quivas were still available, seemed, shortly after having begun to sleep at Kamchak's boots, for some reason to have thought the better of burying one in his heart.	10
15	84	I suspected, though the girl would not have dreamed of making the admission, that her heart as well as her body might now rightfully have been claimed as his by the cruel Ubar of the Tuchuks.	10
18	9	My heart leaped wildly at this chance.	10
18	23	"Many have used the quiva before now," he said, "but usually to plunge it into their own heart".	10
18	85	The quiva had sought and found the heart of two before even they realized I was upon them.	10
19	81	Several times, one girl or another would roll over or shift in her sleep, or throw out an arm, and my heart would nearly stop, but none of the wenches awakened and we would troop on to the next room.	10
19	186	My heart nearly stopped but Harold, at the moment just before the girl could scream, popped one of the scarves into her mouth, wadding it up and shoving it between her teeth.	10
21	29	My heart felt grateful to the stern, fierce warrior, though he had been in the past days harsh and strange, half drunk with hatred for Turia.	10
21	275	Suddenly understanding, the officer cried out in rage and whipped his sword from his sheath but before he could raise his arm the young man had leaped to him and thrust a quiva into his heart.	10
21	285	My Turian foe took the short sword under the heart.	10
21	292	I barely turned a blade from my heart.	10
23	28	Hakimba was adamant and it was with a heavy heart that I climbed once more to the saddle of my tarn.	10
23	143	My heart sank.	10
23	149	And I looked and saw suddenly and my heart stopped beating and then I uttered a wild cry for from the left, riding with the Thousands sweeping over the hills, I saw the standard of the Yellow Bow, and on the right, flying forward with the hurtling Thousands, its leather streaming behind its pole, I ...	10
26	145	I supposed Saphrar of Turia must have carried lamp or torch, or perhaps that he knew the passage by heart.	10
26	205	My heart stopped for the instant.	10
26	516	"By the way, Ubar," asked Harold, winking at me, "what was it you paid for Aphris of Turia?" Kamchak threw him a look that might have been a quiva in the heart.	10
27	37	Tears formed in the eyes of Phanius Turmus and he held the Home Stone of the city to his heart.	10
27	43	I had thought that Kamchak might destroy the stone, thus breaking the heart of the city, leaving it in ruins in the minds of men.	10
27	221	"This woman," said Kamchak of the Tuchuks, brusquely, his voice stern but almost breaking, "is called Aphris—know her—she is Ubara of the Tuchuks, she is Ubara Sana, of my heart Ubara Sana!" We let Kamchak and Aphris ride ahead, and followed them, by some hundred yards, toward the main...	10

5	158	My breath was deep, my heart filled with joy.	10
13	374	My heart had nearly stopped beating.	10
16	256	Then the tarn threw back its head and once more screamed, wild, eerie, fierce, savage, a cry that might have struck terror into the heart of a larl, but I did not fear it.	10
18	87	"In you, Ho-Tu," said she, "I have found the heart of a larl and the softness of flowers.	10
19	35	In my heart I laughed bitterly.	10
19	95	I felt rage and sorrow, rage at the twisting of events, the brilliance of my enemies, my own failures, and sorrow for Elizabeth, and the other girls; for Elizabeth in particular my heart cried out, for her hopes would be so cruelly dashed; she might not even discover that she was not on her way to s...	10
19	362	"Does noble Samos, First Slaver of Port Kar, jewel and mistress of the sea, not care to express interest in these unworthy wenches? Would they not cheer the heart of a seaman returned from long at sea?" There was laughter from the crowd.	10
20	237	But my heart had sunk.	10
21	319	My heart leaped.	10
21	346	I parried a blade from his heart.	10
22	45	My heart sank.	10
22	132	I noted that Mip had been following Menicius, and when Menicius had swerved Mip had taken advantage of the opening thus presented and, like a knife, had plunged for the heart of the ring.	10
22	143	I feared for the strain on that old heart, redoubtable and valiant.	10
22	561	"Faster! Har-ta! Faster! Faster!" Then, approaching the last of the left side rings, Ubar of the Skies, striking for the heart of the ring, burst between the startled Red and Menicius, who led him by perhaps four yards.	10
24	268	There was a darkness in my heart as I walked alone in the halls of the Central Cylinder of Ar.	10
24	417	Enraged, I wandered the corridors, black hatred consuming me, my heart pounding with fury.	10

4	75	But most I was miserable in my heart.	10
4	79	I now knew the sort of thing I was, and in my worthless heart it so sickened me that I did not much care now whether I lived or died.	10
4	82	How could I face free men again, when in my own heart I could not even face myself? It was hot, and the coils of marsh vine about my throat were hot.	10
5	185	Then another girl, the tall, blond girl, she who had held the coil of marsh vine, stood before me, moving with excruciating slowness, as though the music could be reflected only from moment to moment, in her breathing, in the beating of the heart.	10
8	76	And when some growth had been cleared and an oar-master would dare to take his seat to call the time for rowers he, too, like the helmsmen, would taste in his heart the touch of the metal-piled shaft.	10
8	125	When the torch first flickered I put the arrow into the heart of the man who held it, and he and the torch, as though struck by a fist, spun and reeled off the far side of the barge.	10
8	333	In my heart there was hatred for the rencers, for they had made me slave.	10
8	340	I had learned that I was, in my heart, of Port Kar.	10
8	438	I knew, in my heart, that it had been I, I myself, who had betrayed me, I who had fallen short of the warrior codes, I who had dishonored my own Home Stone, and the blade I bore.	10
9	65	Here men scorn to sheath the claws of their heart in the pretenses of their mouth.	10
11	267	If a larl might have been transformed into a man and yet retain its instincts, its heart and its cunning, I think it might look much like Samos, First Slaver of Port Kar.	10
11	468	I could not read his heart.	10
18	305	I did not reproach them, even in my heart.	10

12	397	"No!" I had insisted, though I knew myself, in my heart, as a true slave, and fittingly so.	10
13	325	My heart almost stopped.	10
13	447	My heart was pounding.	10
13	452	My heart leaped.	10
13	536	Then my heart sank! There must have been two hundred or more peasants, men, children and women, all shouting, and beating on their kettles or pans.	10
13	1057	I suppose that a woman, like a man, has buried instincts, of which they may not even become aware, but these instincts lie within them, dispositions to respond, dispositions locked into the very genetic codes of her being, instincts awaiting only the proper stimulus situation to be elicited and emer...	10
14	639	My heart was beating rapidly.	10
16	446	It would have been the torture of the tearing of my heart from my body.	10

17	453	But I wanted him, with all of me and my weeping heart.	10
