Thing

Book 1. (21 results) Tarnsman of Gor

Chapter # Sentence # Quote Confidence
1 39 The first thing I did was check my compass, as if I knew what I was up to, and then proceeded to leave the highway well behind me.
Details
10
1 172 The important thing was not to be at the old camp.
Details
10
1 199 The next thing I was running like a demented animal, in any direction, every direction.
Details
10
1 220 Feeling was the important thing.
Details

3 284 The next thing I knew his beak was open; I caught a brief sight of his thin, sharp tongue, as long as a man's arm, darting out and back, and then, snapping at me, he lunged forward, striking at me with that monstrous beak, and I heard the Older Tarl cry out in horror, "The goad! The goad!".
Details
10
4 9 Without knowing why, and thinking I was better off to have the thing in retreat, I seized my tarn whistle and blew its shrill note.
Details
10
5 174 Or perhaps I should bless the fighting spirit of that plumed giant, my war tarn, that terrible thing the Older Tarl had called a tarn of tarns.
Details
10
6 74 I fastened my eyes on the blue sky, wanting it to be the last thing I looked upon.
Details
10
9 56 Its one bleared eye regarded us blankly for a moment, and then the thing moved on.
Details
10
9 130 "What news of the Home Stone of Ar and the daughter of Marlenus?" I asked, feeling it would be the sort of thing the warrior would expect me to be interested in.
Details
10
10 119 To me, the most puzzling thing about the domesticated tharlarions, and the way in which they differed most obviously from wild tharlarions and the lizards of my native planet, was their stamina, their capacity for sustained movement.
Details
10
10 168 "Take this thing off," she commanded.
Details
10
12 64 Of one thing I was certain—there would be no human assistance or even pity, for the poor wretches on the frames are none but villains, betrayers, and blasphemers against the Priest-Kings, and it is a sacrilegious act even to consider terminating their sufferings.
Details
10
12 149 The first thing I did was unseal one of the two water flasks and open the dried rations.
Details
10
12 172 When the tarn had fed, I walked over to him, speaking familiarly, as if I might be doing the most customary thing on Gor.
Details
10
13 99 The thing stumbled forward, reaching for me, and fell to the ground with a tiny, moaning sound.
Details
10
14 109 It was a stupid thing to say, but I felt that it was not yet my time to die.
Details
10
15 34 I noted one thing that seemed puzzling for a moment.
Details
10
15 75 Still I would not speak, not while he controlled a weapon; unfortunately, the first thing a Gorean warrior is likely to do to the stranger in his tent is kill him, the second is to find out who he is.
Details
10
16 63 One thing at least remained to be done: there must be an attempt to rescue Talena.
Details
10
19 138 That sort of thing would be effective only once with a given player, but in swordplay once would be sufficient.

Book 2. (10 results) Outlaw of Gor

Chapter # Sentence # Quote Confidence
2 41 For them a city is almost a living thing, or more than a living thing.
Details
10
4 12 As I tore the thing from my leg, glad that the sting had not been that of the venomous ost, the three hurtling moons of Gor broke from the dark cover of the clouds.
Details
10
4 78 It was a thing I could see, could feel, could fight! With an eagerness and a lust that matched that of the beast itself, I rushed forward in the darkness and when I judged its leap I lunged forward with the broad-headed spear of Gor.
Details
10
6 143 Then, for a Gorean woman, she did an incredible thing.
Details
10
15 57 Had I not cried "Tabuk!"? Was this thing it had seized not now to be devoured? Was it not prey? I shoved the tarn back and away from the girl, and gathered her in my arms.
Details
10
20 52 I knew the hatred of men is but a feeble thing compared to the hatred of women, and I wondered how much it would take to slake the thirst for vengeance of such a woman as Dorna the Proud.
Details
10
20 122 I talked to him for perhaps an hour, a foolish thing to do perhaps, and then gave his beak a hardy slap and shoved it from me.
Details
10
21 102 One thing was clear.
Details
10
24 97 "Is it right that the men of Tharna lift their weapons against one another, men within the same walls?" "It is a sad thing," said Kron.
Details
10
26 42 It is perhaps a small thing to see on the belt of an artisan a silver buckle of the style worn in mountainous Thentis or to note the delicacy of dried eels from Port Kar in the marketplace, but these things, small though they are, speak to me of a new Tharna.

Book 3. (26 results) Priest-Kings of Gor

Chapter # Sentence # Quote Confidence
2 62 Some four days into the mountains I heard for the first time in my journey the sound of a thing other than the wind, the sighing of snow and the groaning of ice; it was the sound of a living thing; the sound of a mountain larl.
Details
10
1 99 He had disobeyed and he had been destroyed, immediately and with grotesque dispatch, but the important thing was, I told myself, that he had disobeyed, that he could disobey, that he had been able to disobey and choose the ignominious death he knew must follow.
Details
10
2 59 I encountered no animals, nor any growing thing, nothing save the endless black rocks, the black cliffs, and the path cut before me in the dark stone.
Details
10
7 97 The safest thing for me would be to continue on as I had been doing, a pattern of action which would give me the benefit of the shield formed by the turn in the passage.
Details
10
8 188 It was a foolish thing to say, and I regretted it immediately.

18 72 "Do you think," said Mul-Ba-Ta loftily, "that a Priest-King would have done so foolish a thing with a transportation disk?" "No," said Mul-Al-Ka, his face beaming.

19 6 To my surprise his head was crowned with an aromatic wreath of green leaves, the first thing green I had seen in the Nest, and about his neck there hung, besides the invariable translator, a necklace, perhaps of accouterments, perhaps of pure ornaments, small pieces of metal, some shallow and rounde...

19 85 "But it will be too many who will know of the thing," I suggested.
Details
10
20 52 Vaguely I sensed that I had heard of this thing somewhere before.
Details
10
20 193 And yet it was not a strange thing, particularly not on Gor, where bravery is highly esteemed and to save a female's life is in effect to win title to it, for it is the option of a Gorean male to enslave any woman whose life he has saved, a right which is seldom denied even by the citizens of the gi...

24 3 It was about the size of a rhinoceros and the first thing I noticed after the glowing eyes were two multiply hooked, tubular, hollow, pincerlike extensions that met at the tips perhaps a yard beyond its body.

24 10 I knew the thing before me could slay Priest-Kings.

25 6 I leaped forward and thrust my hand under the wing shell and seized the short, tufted antennae and with one hand on them twisting and the other beneath the shell I slowly managed, lifting and twisting, to force the struggling creature onto its back and when it lay on its back, rocking, its short leg...

10
25 69 I do not know if I lost consciousness or not but I suppose I may have, for the next thing I remember was that the pain had gone from my body and that I lay against the wall weak and sick.

26 129 "For one thing," she said, "I belong to you".

27 5 I was less pleased to have left the translator with the disk but it seemed the better thing to do, for one would not have taken a translator into the tunnels of the Golden Beetle and if it were found missing from the disk it might occasion speculation not that I had returned from the tunnels of the ...
Details
10
27 114 But on the platform before which these golden creatures stood there lay the Mother, perhaps blind, almost insensate, the large, feeble thing they revered, weak, brownish, withered, the huge worn body at last wrinkled and empty.

7 13 There were also, among the other goods, two girls, blonde and blue-eyed, unclothed, chained; they had perhaps been a gift to Kutaituchik; or had been the daughters of enemies; they might have been from any city; both were beautiful; one was sitting with her knees tucked under her chin, her hands cla...

7 206 Who, or what, could dare such a thing? Besides, how did I know that the message was not from Priest-Kings?

8 27 I originally regarded the Omen Year as a rather pointless institution, but I came to see later that there is much to be said for it: it brings the Wagon Peoples together from time to time, and in this time, aside from the simple values of being together, there is much bosk trading and some exchange ...

9 51 Saphrar, eyes closed, was nibbling on a tiny thing, still quivering, which had been impaled on a colored stick.
Details
10
9 311 "It is one thing to order the death of a Tuchuk," he said.
Details
10
11 234 When I had first seen this thing, heaped with other odds and ends in one corner of the wagon, some of the odds and ends being tankards of jewels and small, heavy chests filled with golden tarn disks, I had thought it merely a rock.
Details
10
12 13 It did not seem to me a worthy thing to betray the hospitality of Tuchuks by attempting to purloin an object which obviously they held to be of great value.

12 355 The last thing I needed in the dangerous mission ahead was to be burdened with a slave girl.

16 35 It is one thing to descend a long rope and quite another, even in the lesser gravity of Gor, to climb one—particularly one as long as that which I now saw dimly above me.
Details
10
16 59 It is one thing to roll about in a public bath or splash about in some pool or stream, but quite another to struggle for pasangs against a current in a tunnel channel with only a few inches between the water and the roof of the tunnel.

16 222 "The collar was sewn on the girl in this very house," said he, "though the poor thing was anesthetized at the time and unaware of the honor bestowed upon her".

17 46 The expression on his face was much the same as that I had seen at the banquet, when he had prepared to eat the small, quivering thing impaled on the colored stick.

17 65 I hoped it would be only one thing.

18 2 I cried out suddenly in alarm horrified at my predicament and struggled to turn back and wade to the edge of the marbled basin that was the cage of the thing in which I was, but the fluid, tightening about me, now seemed to have the consistency of a rich yellow, hot mud and then, by the time I had r...

10
21 213 It had been, in its way, a courageous thing for him to do.
Details

22 26 One thing troubled me.

10
22 55 "I of course recommended the same rank for myself," said Harold, "inasmuch as I am the one who really carried the thing off".
Details
10
24 29 I asked him about this, for Tuchuk warfare, as I understood it, was complete, leaving no living thing in its wake, killing even domestic animals and poisoning wells.

10
25 621 And yet this beautiful, soft, proud thing stood there, though ringed and branded, though collared, bold and brazen flinging at me, eyes bright, her challenge, the eternal challenge of the unconquered female, that of the untamed woman, daring the male to touch her, to try, she resisting, to reduce he...

1 78 There is no such thing as justice, said Kuurus, to himself.
Details
10
2 6 The city had fallen and Pa-Kur, though of low caste, had aspired to inherit the imperial mantle of Marlenus, had dared to lift his eyes to the throne of Empire and place about his neck the golden medallion of a Ubar, a thing forbidden to such as he in the myths of the Counter-Earth.
Details
10
2 74 The little thing, misshapen with its large head, scrambled limping and leaping like a broken-legged urt to the counter behind which stood the man in the grimy tunic, who was wiping out a paga bowl.
Details
10
2 75 "Hide Hup!" cried the thing.
Details
10
2 101 Hup was indeed an ugly thing, for he was small, and yet thick, almost bulbous, and under the dirty tunic, perhaps that of the potters, there bulged the hump of some grotesque growth.

3 84 The most startling thing to me about the man was not that he was older than one commonly sees in the streets of a Gorean city, but rather that he was clearly blind.

5 357 "Doubtless," said Misk, "but the interesting thing to Priest-Kings is that the Others, rational and advanced creatures presumably, have elected this primitive fashion of controlling their population".

5 627 In such a small thing as these knots I was again reminded of the central differences in sex and personality that divide human beings, differences expressed in thousands of subtleties, many of which are often overlooked, as in the way a piece of cloth might be folded, a letter formed, a color remembe...

5 638 Also, as she was, legally, having submitted in the House of Cernus, a slave girl, any small thing she had or could do which was her own was doubtless rather precious to her.

5 642 This sort of thing was trivial, but one never knew when something less trivial might perhaps be involved.

10
5 643 It seemed to me, all things considered, though it was a bother for me, a good thing that Elizabeth had her own knot.

8 79 She was generally intrigued, though frightened when I spoke of the thing called the beast, and distressed when I mentioned the girls brought from Earth, to be sold as slaves from the House of Cernus.
Details
10
9 30 This type of thing is at its worst when large numbers of girls must be sold, as when a city has fallen.
Details
10
10 110 "The thing you call the beast," I said, "lies through that door".

11 323 I do think, of course, that the Gorean population tends to be more physically fit and mentally acute than that of Earth, but I would rate them provisionally rather than essentially superior in these respects; for example, Goreans live much out of doors and, as a very natural thing, celebrate the bea...

15 113 For one thing he never slew an opponent, though the man often could never fight again; the afternoon I had seen him the crowd cried for the death of his defeated opponent, lying bloodied in the sand, pleading for mercy between his legs, and Murmillius had lifted his sword as though to slay the man, ...

15 184 They were the women of inferior men who had been unable to protect them; such men would be conquered when one wished; their women belonged to those who could take them, who would be the victorious; hence they were of slave stock, by nature; that this sort of thing had occurred always, and would alwa...

15 353 One thing that I thought was nice was that Elizabeth had asked Sura about the dance she had begun to perform but could not finish, when we had first come to the house of Cernus, the dance which is accompanied by the Tuchuk slave song.
Details

17 270 "I would never think of such a thing," protested Elizabeth, wide-eyed.

18 248 "One thing more to this little story," said Flaminius.

18 294 The thing behind the door was no longer making noise, and the door was no longer pressing against the beams; from where I stood I could hear the bolt on the inside being thrust back in place, locking it from the inside.
Details
10
22 33 Then, not taking its eyes from us, it put down its beak and tore an arm from the thing beneath its talons.
Details
10
22 448 It is one thing to force a bird or rider into the padded bars, and another against the great, swinging knives that were now the rings.

13 298 It is the last thing that is done for the ship before it is first launched.

13 299 The painting of the eyes reflects the Gorean seaman's belief that the ship is a living thing.

14 87 The important thing, as I saw it, was not so much the absolute numbers of ships involved as the numbers of ships that could be applied at a given place and given time.

15 117 For one thing, they had now formed a Council Guard, with its distinct livery, that was now recognized as a force of the Council, and, in effect, as the police of the city.
