Chapter # Sentence # Quote Confidence
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
2 170 His supposition seemed plausible to me, for from the very beginning I had understood that in something or someone existed a force and clarity of understanding beside which the customary habits of rationality as I knew them were little more than the tropisms of the unicellular animal.

10
2 192 My father then explained to me something of the legends of the Priest-Kings, and I gathered that they seemed to be true to this degree at least—that the Priest-Kings could destroy or control whatever they wished, that they were, in effect, the divinities of this world.
Details
10
3 23 Yet, in spite of his incomparable eccentricities, his petulance and exasperation, I felt drawn to the man and sensed in him something I admired—a shrewd and kind spirit, a sense of humor, and a love of learning, which can be one of the deepest and most honest of loves.

10
3 71 Perhaps this was to discourage them from exploration or to develop in them a habit of relying on common-sense prejudices—something of a social control device.

10
3 206 Perhaps it was in the lengthening of the rest periods; perhaps it was in the repetition of materials I had already encountered; perhaps it was something in the attitude of my instructors.

10
4 84 Perhaps something of the same sort lingers even on our native Earth, where the first name of a person is reserved for use by those who know him intimately and presumably wish him no harm.

1 87 "It must not be too late," he said, as though he had resolved on something, as though by the sheer force of his will he would stop the flow of time, the random track of events.
Details
10
1 172 I had meant something to him, and he to me, and now as simply as this it seemed that friends might part forever, never to see or talk to one another again.
Details
10
3 89 What I said, I knew, would be less important than the fact that something was said, that he had not been alone again.
Details
10
5 24 I could not place the difference, yet it seemed there was something in him or about him that set him apart from the other members of his caste.
Details
10
5 76 He seemed to shake with pain, his hands pressed against his head, trying to speak to me, trying to tell me something.
Details
10
5 104 The morning light flashed briefly on something golden among the white shards.

6 68 Something of the nature of the institution of capture, and the Gorean's attitude toward it, becomes clear when it is understood that one of a young tarnsman's first missions is often the capture of a slave for his personal quarters.

10
11 23 There seemed to be something familiar about him.

12 98 "What is the significance of that?" I asked, for I had heard something of the sort before.

12 101 "For how then would the ranks of Field Slaves be replenished?" "I see," I said, now understanding for the first time something of the motivation behind the hospitality of Tharna.
Details
10
14 23 "As something by which to remember the Tatrix of Tharna," said the voice behind the golden mask, amused.
Details
10
14 55 Yet it was perhaps more, for as I stood by the bird, I felt almost as though I had come home to Ko-ro-ba, as though I stood here now with something in this gray, hostile city that knew me and mine, that had looked upon the Towers of the Morning, and had spread its wings above the glistening cylinder...

10
14 176 Something of the same exhilaration which I had felt in my first wild flight on a tarn, this very giant, now thrilled in me again.

10
16 64 Something in her mien made me uneasy.
Details
10
22 141 I recalled that she had said something of a rug and cords in the council chamber of Tharna, when she had seemed consumed with rage, when it seemed she wanted to lash the flesh from my bones.

10
22 144 And then, in the slaver's tent, Lara, who had been Tatrix of Tharna, told me something of the strange history of her city.

2 67 The larl's head is broad, sometimes more than two feet across, and shaped roughly like a triangle, giving its skull something of the cast of a viper's save that of course it is furred and the pupils of the eyes like the cat's and unlike the viper's, can range from knifelike slits in the broad daylig...

5 106 Outside the chamber, carved over the portal, I saw something I had not noted before.

7 108 Then I sensed something.
Details
10
8 61 "Yes," I said, "something like the 'eye' in the door".

9 14 On the whole I find her more joyful than many of her Earth-inhabiting sisters who, theoretically at least, enjoy a more lofty status, although it is surely true that on my old world I have met several women with something of the Gorean zest for acknowledging the radiant truth of their sex, the gifts...

10
10 5 They are, for them, something like our ears and nose, used as secondary sensors to be relied upon when the most pertinent information in the environment is not relayed by vision, or, in the case of the Priest-Kings, by scent.
Details
10
10 7 I gather that these appendages are sensitive not only to odors but, due to a modification of some of the golden hairs, may also transform sound vibrations into something meaningful in their experience.
Details
10
10 38 There is an expression in their language which translates into English as "Nest Trust," however, and seems to play something of the same role in their thinking.

10
10 86 "It is something men sometimes do when they are amused," I said.
Details
10
14 112 At last, feeling that I perhaps owed something to Misk's acceptance of me in his chamber, I suggested a compromise at five, and, for an extra salt packet, six on alternate days.
Details
10
15 94 "What you know—even a creature such as yourself—" said Misk, "depends on the charges and microstates of your neural tissue, and, customarily, you obtain these charges and microstates in the process of registering and assimilating sensory stimuli from your environment, as for example wh...
Details
10
16 38 "That is the reason then for your limitations of their weaponry and technology?" "Of course," said Misk, "but we have allowed them to develop in many areas—in medicine, for example, where something approximating the Stabilization Serums has been independently developed".
Details
10
16 125 "It frightened her," said Misk, "and your father asked that she be allowed to return to Earth, for, loving her, he wished her to be happy and also perhaps he wanted you to know something of his old world".
Details
10
17 80 Of course, if we know that something of interest or importance to us is occurring we lock onto its coordinates and follow its developments".
Details
10
17 108 "Surely," I said bitterly, "with all the knowledge and power of Priest-Kings you could build something mechanical, a robot, which might resemble a man and do this work for you".
Details
10
18 26 "But," said Mul-Al-Ka, "should you wish to do something which Sarm will not know of, simply let us know and we will avert our eyes".
Details
10
18 62 "I have never seen even a Priest-King do that," said Mul-Al-Ka, with something of awe in his voice.
Details
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
20 31 "Look, Tarl Cabot," said Mul-Al-Ka suddenly, "we want to show you something".

20 205 The Gorean man, as a man, cheerfully and dutifully attends to the rescuing of his female in distress, but as a Gorean, as a true Gorean, he feels, perhaps justifiably and being somewhat less or more romantic than ourselves, that he should have something more for his pains than her kiss of gratitude ...

22 142 "Everywhere in the Nest," I said, "you must go everywhere that there is something human to be found".
Details
10
22 144 "Yes," I said, "wherever there is something human—wherever it is to be found and however it is found".
Details
10
25 100 At last we came to an opening which gave onto something of the sort for which I was looking, a rather small complex of buildings, where I saw several Muls at work but no Priest-Kings.

26 11 It seemed to me I now understood her treacherous plan and something of the same bitterness with which I had earlier regarded this woman tended to fill my breast.

28 30 A thin voice yet strong, almost like that of something that was at once an old man and a child, rang out above me.

29 143 There was something piteous in the gesture.
Details
10
32 80 "Something you have said does not translate," said Misk, his antennae dipping towards me.

10
32 83 "I said," I told him, "I choose to remain here with you—and I said something like 'There is Nest Trust between us.
