I do. And yes, you've missed what Gor is about.
I see. Thank you for the clarification.
More quotes, just because I think there is so much more to Gor...
From Priest-Kings of Gor:
“The truth is,” said Sarm, “that the human is a dangerous and predatory species.”
“But those animals,” I said, “are not rational.”
“Is that so important?” asked Sarm.
“I don’t know,” I said. “What if I claimed it was?”
“Then I should reply,” said Sarm, “that nothing below a Priest-King is truly rational.” He looked down at me. “Remember that as you are to the bosk and the sleen so are we to you.”
From Beasts of Gor:
“I know a place,” I said, “where some people would think that men are immortal but animals are not.”
“They do not like animals?” asked Imnak.
“I do not know,” I said. “Perhaps they think they are immortal because they are smart and sleen are not.”
“Some sleen are pretty smart,” said Imnak. He thought for a bit. “If sleen were to talk these things over,” he said, “they would probably say that they were immortal and men were not, because they were better at swimming.”
From Savages of Gor:
"Could it be," asked Samos, "that they have come to sue for peace?"
"No," I said.
"How can you know that?" asked Samos.
"They are too much like men," I said.
From Kur of Gor:
It does not apologize for its strength, its speed, its
formidableness, such things. Nor does it attempt to conceal
them.
From Raiders of Gor:
But most importantly the men of the arsenal regard themselves as just that, the men of the arsenal, and would be unhappy apart from their work. For all their threats of desertion of the arsenal there are few of them who would want to leave it. Building fine and beautiful ships gives them great pleasure.
A society in which each is expected to succeed, and it placed under conditions where most must fail, would be incomprehensible, irrational, to most Goreans. This will sound strange, I suppose, but the workers of the arsenal, as long as they make enough to live reasonably well, are more concerned with their work, as craftsmen, than they are with considerably and indefinitely improving their economic status.
From Tarnsman of Gor:
Marlenus was patient. "Before the sword," he said, "there is no right, no wrong, only fact, a world of what is and what is not, rather than a world of what should be and what should not be. There is no justice until the sword creates it, establishes it, guarantees it, gives it substance and significance." He lifted the weapon, wielding the heavy metal blade as though it were a straw. "First the sword" he said, "then government, then law, then justice."
From Vagabonds of Gor:
"To be sure," I said, "men have occasionally starved in the midst of many things which might most adequately have sustained life. One assumes, of course, that this was the result less of fastidiousness than ignorance."
"Would you prefer to starve in the midst of plenty?" I asked.
