Chapter # Sentence # Quote Confidence
1 10 I thought him dead until I received his strange message, more than twenty years after he had vanished.
Details
9
1 113 A thought struck me with sudden swiftness, and I was afraid, but I knew what I must do.
Details
9
1 178 Strangely enough, now that I think of it, I didn't run headlong from the spot, though I can't see why, and the thought did cross my mind that the bright, flarelike luminescence would reveal my position, if it was of interest to anyone or anything.
Details
9
1 184 The thought came to me that the ring, which I had dropped in my pocket, might similarly burst into flame, but, unaccountably perhaps, I doubted it.
Details
9
1 187 Whatever it was, father or no, that was the source of these frightening events, it did not seem to wish me harm, but then, I thought, somewhat bitterly, floods and earthquakes presumably wish no one harm either.
Details
9
2 24 My first thought was that this must be the earth and the sun's apparent size an illusion.
Details
9
2 53 He said, I thought rather proudly, "You are my son, Tarl Cabot".
Details
9
2 145 He had turned away, as if lost in thought.
Details
9
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.
Details
9
3 50 Accordingly, for subtle communication or the fullest expression of thought, the machine was inferior to a skilled linguist.
Details
9
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...

9
3 99 My father's eyes were hard and seemed fixed in thought.
Details
9
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.
Details
9
3 187 During my training with the sword, the Older Tarl cut me unpleasantly a number of times, shouting out, annoyingly enough, I thought, "You are dead!" At last, near the end of my training, I managed to break through his guard and, pulling my stroke, to drive my blade against his chest.
Details
9
4 51 The thought flashed through my mind that tarns should be trained to respond to voice commands as well as to the numbered straps and the tarn-goad.
Details
9
4 64 "I thought," I said, "on the roof it would kill me.
Details
9
4 124 I found the thought crossing my mind that I would like to have owned that one for more than the hour I had paid for.
Details
9
4 125 I shook the thought from my aching head, made an unsuccessful effort to muster a decent sense of shame, failed, and was belting my tunic when the Older Tarl entered the room.
Details
9
5 11 He lifted his blue-clad arm in a gesture of farewell—rather sadly, I thought.
Details
9
5 15 I thought of the innocent girl bound senseless before me.
Details
9
5 25 But, as my father knew, strife among the free cities would be the very madness which Marlenus of Ar would welcome most; better even that Ko-ro-ba should suffer the indignity of being thought a city of cowards.
Details
9
5 74 "And you removed my hood—why?" "I thought you would be more comfortable," I replied.
Details
9
5 118 She thought for a moment and then gently kissed me on the lips.
Details
9
5 123 Then I thought to myself, a hundred tarns indeed! Forty perhaps, because she was a beauty.
Details
9
5 153 The thought crossed my mind of giving up the project, turning outlaw, if you will, deserter, if you like, but of saving my own skin, trying to get out of this mad scheme if only with my life, and that only for a time.
Details
9
6 76 I looked at it, and it peered down, with its four pairs of pearly eyes—quizzically, I thought.
Details
9
6 157 This made me angry, for some reason, though I thought myself well rid of her.
Details
9
6 168 She was striking at Nar with her tiny fists, cursing and kicking in a manner I thought most improper for the daughter of a Ubar.
Details
9
6 221 That was that, I thought.
Details
9
7 74 What was it she thought I was waiting for? Then, to my astonishment, the daughter of the Ubar Marlenus, daughter of the Ubar of Ar, knelt before me, a simple warrior of Ko-ro-ba, and lowered her head, lifting and extending her arms, the wrists crossed.
Details
9
7 157 She followed, meekly, I thought.
Details
9
8 56 "I never thought that I would have my chain on Talena, the daughter of Marlenus," he said.
Details
9
8 102 Her chin was on her knees, and when she saw me she asked—rather humbly, I thought, "May I clothe myself?" "Surely," I said.
Details
9
8 153 We of Ar thought they might be training you for this work, and so we decided to kill you".
Details
9
9 41 To her annoyance, but as a safety measure I thought essential, I secured her a few feet from me, fastening her arms about a sapling by means of the slave bracelets.
Details
9
11 72 I could not forget the figure on the throne, he of the black helmet, and I thought perhaps that he had noticed me and had reacted.
Details
9
11 77 I had thought she had retired.
Details
9
12 90 Near one of the green stretches I saw what I first thought was a shadow, but as the tarn passed, it scattered into a scampering flock of tiny creatures, probably the small, three-toed mammals called qualae, dun-colored and with a stiff brushy mane of black hair.
Details
9
13 29 I thought perhaps he had heard the tarn, but he seemed to show no awareness of us.
Details
9
13 91 I shivered at the thought of taking this dread creature, this whispering corpse, with me.
Details
9
14 98 "I thought I would see if you would die like a slave".
Details
9
15 94 I thought you were dead".
Details
9
15 125 Mintar was lost in thought, his small eyes fastened to the red and yellow squares of the board.
Details
9
15 173 "You are willing," I asked, "to turn the city over to Pa-Kur—that his horde should swarm into the cylinders, that the city may be looted and burned, the people destroyed or enslaved?" I shuddered involuntarily at the thought of the uncontrolled hordes of Pa-Kur among the spires of Ar, butcher...
Details
9
16 7 On the other hand, the thought of her in the tents of Pa-Kur enraged me, and I knew I would be unable to restrain myself indefinitely.
Details
9
16 65 Kazrak noticed my frown and demanded to know what I had thought.
Details
9
16 75 "How long will it last," I queried, "with Pa-Kur on the throne of Ar?" Kazrak seemed suddenly to darken with thought.
Details
9
18 2 I thought of Marlenus who, if he survived, might be able to see much of the same sight from the arrow ports of the Central Cylinder.
Details
9
18 73 Boldly, giving no thought to the possible danger of lingering infection, I dropped the tarn into the deserted pit.
Details
9
18 172 I seemed to be beside myself and fought as if I might not be what I knew I was, what I thought myself to be—Tarl Cabot, a simple warrior, one man.
Details
9
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...

Book 2. (65 results) Outlaw of Gor

Chapter # Sentence # Quote Confidence
11 190 His tiny, rodentlike mind scurried from thought to thought, but his mouth only moved uncontrollably, silently.
Details
10
1 27 He never returned to teach at the college, to the relief of several of my elder colleagues, who now confessed that they had thought that young Cabot had never really fitted in.
Details
9
1 67 He feared I would have thought him mad.
Details
9
3 71 He regarded me, and I thought the trace of a smile cracked through the stubbled leather of his broad face.
Details
9
3 133 I thought there were tears in his eyes.
Details
9
4 6 An ost, I thought! But the fangs held fast, and I heard the popping, sucking sounds of the bladderlike seed pods of a leech plant, as they expanded and contracted like small ugly lungs.
Details
9
4 29 I thought I heard a slight sniffling, a grunt, a small doglike whine.
Details
9
4 71 The thought crossed my mind that it was a sign from the Priest-Kings that I should turn back.
Details
9
5 5 Whereas Ar was glorious, a city of imposing grandeur, that acknowledged even by its blood foes; whereas Thentis had the proud violence of the rude mountains of Thentis for its setting; whereas Port Kar could boast the broad Tamber for its sister, and the gleaming, mysterious Thassa beyond, I thought...
Details
9
5 27 The thought struck me that I, Tarl of Ko-ro-ba, a mortal, here in the night on this road, might be looking upon the face of a Priest-King.
Details
9
6 32 I thought that much of the barbarity of Gor might perhaps be traced to this foolish suppression of the fair sex, whose gentleness and intelligence might have made such a contribution in softening her harsh ways.
Details
9
6 61 The thought ran through my head, no stone may stand upon another stone.
Details
9
6 107 As she serves him again and again throughout the long feast, she steals glances at him, and sees that he is even more handsome than she had thought.
Details
9
6 123 Such a girl, I thought, would surely have a master or, I hoped for her sake, a protector and companion.
Details
9
6 169 "I thought the men of Tharna revered women, alone perhaps of the men of Gor".
Details
9
8 47 Spies, I thought.
Details
9
9 48 "Is there no Paga Tavern near," I asked, "where I can find rest?" "There are no Paga Taverns in Tharna," said the man, I thought with a trace of amusement.
Details
9
9 72 I thought of the yellow Gorean bread, baked in the shape of round, flat loaves, fresh and hot; my mouth watered for a tabuk steak or, perhaps, if I were lucky, a slice of roast tarsk, the formidable six-tusked wild boar of Gor's temperate forests.
Details
9
9 89 I did not know if they were weak, or if they merely thought poorly of themselves.
Details
9
9 109 I took a long, burning swig of the brew and though, on another occasion, I might have thought it foul, tonight it sang through my body like the bubbling fire it was, a sizzling, brutal irritant that tasted so bad and yet charmed me so much I had to laugh.
Details
9
11 61 I thought that the woman in the silver mask, who had been spoken of as Second in Tharna, seemed to stiffen with apprehension at this revelation.
Details
9
11 91 I thought Dorna the Proud stirred uneasily in the curule chair.
Details
9
11 128 "Then you are guilty," said the voice of Lara, I thought sadly.
Details
9
11 232 "Or so I thought".
Details
9
12 18 I might crawl to it on my belly, and if my hunger were great enough, I knew I must, but the thought angered me.
Details
9
12 47 "I thought women were free in Tharna," I said, gesturing with my head toward the gray metal collar she wore.
Details
9
12 73 It could have been worse, I thought.
Details
9
12 77 The singer was thought to have an unusual skill, but so, too, were the tarn-keeper and the woodsman.
Details
9
12 78 Poets on Gor, as in my native world, were regarded with some skepticism and thought to be a little foolish, but it had not occurred to anyone that they might suffer from divine madness or be the periodic recipients of the inspiration of the gods.
Details
9
12 84 It had not occurred to him that he owed misery and torment to his profession, and, on the whole, the Caste of Poets was thought to be a most happy band of men.
Details
9
14 11 Among warriors, the bite of an ost is thought to be one of the most cruel of all gates to the Cities of Dust; far preferable to them are the rending beak, the terrible talons of a tarn.
Details
9
14 41 If it was the bird I thought it to be, it would not futilely contest the weight of the degrading hobble, would not provide a spectacle of its helplessness for its captors.
Details
9
14 189 I thought it well to rest the bird, unsaddle it, and, also, frankly I did not find myself eager to be present at the feeding of a tarn.
Details
9
15 5 A wild thought occurred to me.
Details
9
15 42 Her tarnsmen might be mercenaries, or perhaps men like Thorn, Captain of Tharna, who in spite of their city thought well of themselves and maintained at least the shreds of caste pride.
Details
9
15 122 I thought it well to alarm the Tatrix, the better to improve my bargaining position.
Details
9
15 178 Indeed, as I thought of the cruel Tatrix, of what she had done, I wondered if, in fact, I should not take her to Ar and dispose of her on the Street of Brands.
Details
9
15 195 Now, I thought, is the time.
Details
9
15 245 I thought she seemed a lonely figure, rather forlorn and sad.
Details
9
16 53 "Are my terms satisfactory to you?" asked the Tatrix, rather condescendingly, I thought.
Details
9
16 100 Now, I thought, it would be free, escaping at last to some rude habitat where it might, without saddle and harness, without a silver hobble, reign as the Ubar of the Skies that it was.
Details
9
17 18 I was not surprised then that the prisoners themselves looked with horror upon the very thought of resistance.
Details
9
17 19 They would strangle one of their fellows who thought of rebellion, rather than risk the flooding of the chamber.
Details
9
17 128 And again the men laughed, and I thought that even Ost smiled.
Details
9
18 34 "Was the Tatrix not returned at the Pillar, and freed?" "Everyone thought she would be," said the slave, "but the tarnsman apparently wanted her more than the riches of Tharna".
Details
9
19 110 Then he turned away, abruptly I thought, and moved rapidly into the shadows.
Details
9
19 153 It is said that as we are to the amoeba and the paramecium so are the Priest-Kings to us, that the highest and most lyric flights of our intellect are, when compared to the thought of the Priest-Kings, but the chemical tropisms of the unicellular organism.
Details
9
19 154 I thought of such an organism, blindly extending its pseudopodia to encircle a particle of food, an organism complacent in its world—perhaps only an agar plate on the desk of some higher being.
Details
9
20 47 Then, again, my memory blackened with fury at the thought of her imperious gesture, that insolent command, "Seize him!" Whatever her fate, I insisted to myself that it would have been richly deserved.
Details
9
20 92 What of the interminable prayers of the Initiates, the sacrifices, the observances, the rituals, the innumerable shrines, altars and temples to the Priest-Kings? Could it be that the smoke of the burning sacrifices, the fragrance of the incense, the mumblings of the Initiates, their prostrations and...
Details
9
20 111 I thought those great eyes looked at me reproachfully.
Details
9
21 81 If anything, they were merely impatient with her, and thought she made too much of a fuss about things.
Details
9
21 92 In theory, if not in practice, when the girl finds herself branded like an animal, finds her fair skin marked by the iron of a master, she cannot fail, somehow, in the deepest levels of her thought, to regard herself as something which is owned, as mere property, as something belonging to the brute ...
Details
9
21 150 What could I tell this merchant, this specialist in the traffic of flesh, this businessman who stood well within the ancient traditions and practices of his trade? Could I tell him that I did not wish the girl to be hurt? He would have thought me a mad man.
Details
9
21 200 "Oh, Master," cried Targo, swirling his robes in disbelief that I could have uttered such a thought.
Details
9
21 227 Many of them were beauties, and I thought that the chain, though small, was a rich one, and that almost any man might find thereon a woman to his taste.
Details
9
21 264 Strange and cruel are the ways of Gor, I thought, where six small green stones, weighing perhaps scarcely two ounces, and a damaged helmet, could purchase a human being.
Details
9
22 40 I shook my head to drive away the thought that I wanted with my tongue to taste the blood on her lips, to kiss it from her mouth.
Details
9
22 134 "When I saw you, Warrior, I thought that you might be the warrior of this dream.
Details
9
23 13 I had thought she might require this for warmth.
Details
9
23 14 I think she thought she might require it to match her sash.
Details
9
23 80 Not more than two hours from the hillock where I had made the decision to return Lara to her native city the tarn had found us, as I had thought he would.
Details
9
26 47 I had thought this pointless, and perhaps dangerous, but Kron had said simply, "Let those who fear to walk the high bridges not walk the high bridges".
Details
9
26 54 Lara had thought long on these matters and had discussed them with many, including myself.
Details
9
26 116 And I have wondered sometimes, and the thought awes and frightens me, if my city might not have been destroyed only to bring me to the mountains of the Priest-Kings, for they would surely know that I would come to challenge them, that I would come to the Sardar, that I would climb to the moons of Go...

Book 3. (74 results) Priest-Kings of Gor

Chapter # Sentence # Quote Confidence
8 136 So I thought to myself, I had placed her accent rather well, either Builders or Physicians, and had I thought carefully enough about it, I might have recognized her accent as being a bit too refined for the Builders.
Details
10
20 192 I smiled to myself, for I thought how incredible that I should find myself naturally and without a second thought considering going to the rescue of the worthless, vicious wench, Vika of Treve.
Details
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.
Details
10
1 14 I would stop briefly at the fair, for I must purchase food for the journey into the Sardar and I must entrust a leather-bound package to some member of the Caste of Scribes, a package which contained an account of what had occurred at the city of Tharna in the past months, a short history of events ...
Details
9
1 89 They had thought to come to the Sardar as free women, discharging their obligation to the Priest-Kings.
Details
9
2 129 I smiled as I thought of the foolishness of this, for these beasts before me must be the larls of Priest-Kings, guardians of the stronghold of Gor's gods.
Details
9
3 41 I thought the snowy whiteness of their pelts was beautiful.
Details
9
3 58 If I had seen this man in my own world, this small, rotund, merry gentleman with his florid coloring and cheerful manner I would have thought him necessarily English, and of a sort one seldom encounters nowadays.
Details
9
3 69 I suppose that I thought that I had been mistaken.
Details
9
5 137 I thought that the Priest-Kings possessed great wealth and that I, with my beauty—" she turned and looked at me and threw back her head—"for I am beautiful, am I not?" I looked at her.
Details
9
5 164 "They showed me," she said, her eyes filled with horror, "by sending a girl between them who had not done her duty as they thought she should".
Details
9
5 205 Her eyes regarded me, rather boldly I thought, as though inviting me to exercise my authority over her, to address to her any command I might see fit, a command which she of course would have no choice but to obey.
Details
9
6 29 Moreover, although you may find this hard to understand, they are not thought to be comfortable.
Details
9
7 11 I thought I heard her weep, and supposed that she did so for herself, because she was frightened.
Details
9
7 45 I found myself congratulating myself that I had been taken to the chamber of Vika, for I had thought her the most beautiful.
Details
9
8 30 The thought amused me.
Details
9
8 128 "They are deeper than I thought," she said.
Details
9
8 187 "Because," I said, "I thought you might have been a bred Pleasure Slave".
Details
9
9 5 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.
Details
9
9 6 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 Companions.
Details
9
9 36 "You thought I was a Passion Slave," she chided.
Details
9
9 139 "Once—long ago—I thought I loved".
Details
9
9 167 "You thought I was a Passion Slave," she said.
Details
9
10 96 Then the Priest-King ceased to rock and its antennae uncurled, almost reluctantly I thought, and it once again rested quietly back on its posterior appendages and regarded me.
Details
9
10 108 "Sarm thought the anesthesia would be necessary," it said.
Details
9
12 189 The thought occurred to me that these slaves had not been well trained to administer discipline.
Details
9
13 41 She had brown eyes and, I thought, in spite of her shaved head, was attractive.
Details
9
13 100 "But I thought I was a Matok," I said.
Details
9
16 4 I thought it only fair to let Misk know that I was no ally of his, that he should learn of my hatred for Priest-Kings and my determination to punish them, to the extent that it lay within my abilities, for the evil which they had done.
Details
9
16 110 "I thought he deserted my mother," I said.
Details
9
16 174 "Then," I said, "you actually thought you were saving me?" "I did," said Misk.
Details
9
17 68 I would have thought that some type of cells for avoiding collisions when the accelerator strips are depressed might have been useful or that a bumper of gas, or a field of some sort, might have been practical improvements but Sarm felt that such refinements would be excessive.
Details
9
17 105 The thought of Parp crossed my mind.
Details
9
18 170 I thought of Vika and of the hatred I bore her.
Details
9
20 206 "I thought you hated her," said Mul-Al-Ka.
Details
9
20 226 I thought about things for a moment or so and then I shrugged and fixed on them both a look of what I hoped would be a somewhat poignant disappointment.
Details
9
22 102 "What was sad," said Misk, "was that I might not have been able to give Gur to the Mother, and that thought troubled me grievously for the days in which I retained Gur, but now thanks to you I will be able to give Gur to the Mother and I will stand forever in your debt until I am slain by Sarm or su...
Details
9
22 138 "Even to those who carried Gur?" asked Mul-Ba-Ta, shivering at the thought of those small round bodies and the strange arms and legs, and eyes.
Details
9
22 182 He seemed lost in thought.
Details
9
23 42 I wondered if I could bury the body somewhere, but dismissed the thought in view of the stony passages I had just traversed.
Details
9
23 56 And Misk had said to me he thought I would be too late for it was near hatching time.
Details
9
24 54 How horrible I thought it would be to be trapped in these tunnels, waiting for the Beetle, able to avoid it perhaps for hours, perhaps days, but not daring to sleep or to stop, not knowing if one were going down a blind passage, if the Beetle were suddenly to confront one at the next turn.
Details
9
25 13 I thought for a moment I might clean it on the golden strands of the Beetle's strange mane but I discovered these were wet with foul, glutinous exudate, the source of that unpleasant, narcotic odor which still permeated the passageway.
Details
9
25 49 I was not certain whether, as a matter of fact, they would open the door or not, but I thought it best that both of them could honestly report that they had seen me enter the tunnels and had not seen me return.
Details
9
25 50 It had been Sarm's intention apparently that I should enter the tunnels of the Golden Beetle and die there and so I thought it expedient to allow him to believe I had done so.
Details
9
26 261 As I thought of our primeval ancestor standing in the mouth of his cave one hand gripping a chipped stone and perhaps the other a torch, his mate behind him and his young hidden in the mosses at the back of the cave I wondered at the genetic gifts that would ensure the survival of man in so hostile ...
Details
9
26 266 I smiled to myself as I thought of the small things on my old world that at such remoteness perhaps reenacted the ancient ceremony of the caves, the carrying of the bride over the threshold, perhaps as a prisoner, the tiny wedding bands, perhaps a small reminder of the primitive thongs that bound th...
Details
9
26 267 Yes, I said to myself, the words Vika spoke were perhaps not as strange as I had thought.
Details
9
27 4 The transportation disk which had originally taken me to the chamber where I had found Misk I had taken to the entrance to the tunnels of the Golden Beetle and I thought it well that it should stay there, as if witnessing my entrance and my supposed failure to return.
Details
9
27 24 I found myself hoping that she might not be too distressed by her captivity, and then I scorned myself this weakness and insisted to myself that I welcomed the thought that whatever miseries she endured would be richly deserved.
Details
9
27 43 The tunic I wore carried no scent-patterns and for a moment he had thought that the transportation disk I rode was actually without a driver.
Details
9
27 123 If Sarm were disturbed at finding Misk, whom he thought to have had killed, at his side, he gave no sign to this effect.
Details
9
27 160 The thought crossed my mind that Misk, in spite of his apparently broken and helpless condition, had actually lost very little body fluid.
Details
9
27 247 I thought about this for a moment.
Details
9
27 324 "I said nothing to him but I considered what he had said, and I thought on this matter, and at last—in league with the Second Born, who has since succumbed to the Pleasures of the Golden Beetle, I set aside a female egg to be concealed from Sarm beyond the Nest".
Details
9
28 91 I thought, even in spite of the cage plastic, she might be safer with the forces of Misk.
Details
9
28 190 "Would it not be useful at times," he asked, "if the armored transportation disk could fly?" I thought he joked, but I said, "Yes, at times it would be very useful".
Details
9
28 207 I thought Misk was most annoying.
Details
9
28 215 I thought for a time.
Details
9
29 140 So this was how a Priest-King might be slain, I thought, somehow here one must sever the ganglionic net in mortal fashion.
Details
9
29 163 I thought I heard a noise and listened for some time, but there was nothing more.
Details
9
30 33 The thought of suicide has always horrified me, for life seems precious, and the mortal moments that one has, so brief a glimpse of the vistas of reality, it seems to me should be cherished, even though they might be lived in pain or sorrow.
Details
9
31 53 There was a greater problem as to what to do with the former Muls who had deserted to join the forces of Sarm, for the blandishments he had offered, and because they had thought that his side was the one which was winning.
Details
9
31 194 I thought he might be telling himself to be done with me, but somehow I knew this could not be.
