A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.
-Lazarus Long
(a fictional character from novelist Robert A. Heinlein)

Not a John Norman quote but worthy of mention and to the spirit of this forum.

"Invisible chains are those which weigh the most heavily."
~ Tribesmen of Gor

Reminds me of something Confusious or Sun Tzu would have been quoted as saying....or something found on a fortune cookie >_>

"Do not ask the stones and trees how to live. they cannot tell you; they do not have tongues; do not ask the wise man how to live, for if he knows, he will know he cannot tell you; if you would learn how to live do not ask the question; its answer is not in the question but in the answer, which is not in words; do not ask how to live, but, instead, proceed to do so."

John Norman, Marauders of Gor, Chapter One

One can find quotes that relate to Gorean philosophy in many places. After keeping a journal of them over the years this seems like a good opportunity to share a few!

"I will be Master of what is mine own; she is my goods, my chattels..." William Shakespeare, The Taming of the Shrew, Act III, Scene II.

"...to be weak is miserable..." John Milton, Paradise Lost, Book 1

"The world knows nothing of its greatest men." Hekiry Taylor, Phip Van Artevelde, Part I, Act 1, Scene 2.

"Somehow, it seems indecent to fight for pay! I fight simply for the thrill of adventure!" Two Swords Against Zora-Zal, Tales of Sword and Sorcery: Dagar the Invincible

"There is a time and a place for weapons." Miyamoto Musashi, A Book of Five Rings

"It seemed so natural for her to attend to him... It did not occur to either of them how strangely natural it was." Samuel Shellabarger, Captain from Castile, Chapter 15

"She had been brought up to elemental facts and accepted them as inevitable. A girl, however independent, must finally belong to a man, work for him, bear children, lose her looks, and grow old. Life was like that." Samuel Shellabarger, Captain from Castile, Chapter 24

...and one of my favorites...

"Just because we're neighbors doesn't mean we have to be neighborly." John Chisolm (John Wayne), Chisolm.

I wish you well!

“Fame is a vapor, popularity an accident, and riches take wings. Only one thing endures and that is character.” - Horace Greeley

“The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes "Awww!” - Jack Kerouac

Not from the books but still, two of my favorites :)
