Book 1. (39 results) Tarnsman of Gor

Chapter # Sentence # Quote Confidence
3 72 On the other hand, the High Castes, specifically the Warriors, Builders, Scribes, Initiates, and Physicians, were told the truth in such matters, perhaps because it was thought they would eventually determine it for themselves, from observations such as the shadow of their planet on one or another o...

1 112 I lay awake for a long time, feeling alone, yet not alone, as one sometimes does in the wilderness, feeling as if one were the only living object on the planet and as if the closest things to one—one's fate and destiny perhaps—lay outside our small world, somewhere in the remote, alien...

2 27 But as I stood at the window, I knew that this could not be my mother planet.

10
2 39 The planet, then, was smaller than our earth, and, given the apparent size of the sun, perhaps somewhat closer to it.
Details
10
2 79 I learned later that on this alien world a strong man may feel and express emotions, and that the hypocrisy of constraint is not honored on this planet as it is on mine.
Details
10
2 90 I nodded, not wanting to speak, wanting him to tell me the thousand things I had to know, to dispel the mysteries that had torn me from my native world and brought me to this strange room, this planet, to him, my father.

10
2 114 In all the languages of this planet, the word means Home Stone".
Details
10
2 126 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 Stones should stand, for matters of honor are here involved, and honor is respected in the barbaric codes of Gor.
Details
10
2 146 "It is the occasional dream of a conqueror or statesman," he said, "to have but a single Supreme Home Stone for the planet".
Details
10
2 155 As he spoke, my father often referred to the planet Gor as the Counter-Earth, taking the name from the writings of the Pythagoreans who had first speculated on the existence of such a body.
Details
10
2 193 It was supposed that they were aware of all that transpired on their planet, but, if so, I was informed that they seemed, on the whole, to take little note of it.
Details
10
2 226 He said, from what he could learn from the Initiates, who claimed to serve as the intermediaries of Priest-Kings to men, that the planet Gor had originally been a satellite of a distant sun, in one of the fantastically remote Blue Galaxies.
Details
10
2 230 If the planet had been moved at all, and I knew enough to understand that this was empirically possible, it must have been brought into our system from a closer star.
Details
10
2 232 Theoretically, I did admit that the planet might have been moved without destroying its life, but the engineering magnitude of such a feat staggered the imagination.
Details
10
2 233 Perhaps life might have been suspended temporarily or hidden beneath the planet's surface with sufficient sustenance and oxygen for the incredible journey.
Details
10
2 234 In effect, the planet would have functioned as a gigantic sealed spacecraft.
Details
10
2 235 There was another possibility I mentioned to my father—perhaps the planet had been in our system all the time, but had been undiscovered, unlikely though that might be, given the thousands of years of study of the skies by men, from the shambling creatures of the Neander Valley to the brillia...
Details
10
2 238 He added, "That is why I like to think of the planet as the Counter-Earth, not only because of its resemblance to our native world, but because, as a matter of fact, it is placed as a counterpoise to the Earth.
Details
10
2 241 One can't hide a planet the size of the Earth in our own solar system! It's impossible!" "You underestimate the Priest-Kings and their science," said my father, smiling.
Details
10
2 242 "Any power that is capable of moving a planet—and I believe the Priest-Kings possess this power—is capable of effecting adjustments in the motion of the planet, such adjustments as might allow it to use the sun indefinitely as a concealing shield".
Details
10
2 247 In all probability their control over the motion of the planet is somehow connected with this capacity.
Details
10
2 249 Physical evidence, such as light or radio waves, which might reveal the presence of the planet, can be prevented from doing so.

10
2 262 "Surely you know," he laughed, "one must distinguish between the data to be interpreted and the interpretation of the data, and one chooses, normally, the interpretation that preserves as much as possible of the old world view, and, in the thinking of the Earth, there is no place for Gor, its true s...

3 38 Most Goreans would have regarded it as a worthless tongue, since it is nowhere spoken on the planet, but Torm had mastered it, apparently only for the delight of seeing how living thought could express itself in yet another garb.

10
3 58 I was given some prayers to the Priest-Kings to memorize, but they were in Old Gorean, a language cultivated by the Initiates but not spoken generally on the planet, and I never bothered to learn them.
Details
10
3 115 This suggested to me that perhaps a well-developed language or mode of conceptual thought existed prior to the primitive hunting groups that must have flourished long ago on the planet.

10
3 124 On the whole, I liked the people I met, and I was confident that they were largely of Earth stock, that their ancestors had been brought to the planet in Voyages of Acquisition.

11 58 I wondered if, on my own planet, there was not a similar market, invisible but present, and just as much accepted, a market in which women were sold, except that they sold themselves, were themselves both merchandise and merchant.

11 59 How many of the women of my native planet, I wondered, did not with care consider the finances, the property of their prospective mates? How many of them did not, for all practical purposes, sell themselves, bartering their bodies for the goods of the world? Here on Gor, however, I observed ironical...

31 157 "I am destroying the planet," he said.

31 183 I imagined the panic in the cities of Gor, the pitching ships at sea, the stampedes of animals, and only I, of all humans, was at the place where this havoc had begun, only I was there to gaze upon the author of the destruction of a world, the golden destroyer of a planet.
