"But the Goreans have a saying, which came to me in the darkness, in the hall, "Do not ask the stones or the 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."
Marauders of Gor pg 7
"Surely you know, Bran Loort," said Thurnus, "it is the duty of a slave girl to be fully and completely pleasing to men. Were she not so, she would be subject to severe punishment, including even torture and death, should it be the master's wish."
"We took her without your permission," said Bran Loort.
"In this," said Thurnus, "you have committed a breach of code."
"It does not matter to me," said Bran Loort.
"Neither a plow, nor a bosk, nor a girl may one man take from another, saving with the owner's saying of it," quoted Thurnus.

"Then, soberly, though I acknowledged it as a superstition, I performed the Gorean ritual of looking into the blood, and then, holding another in my hands, I waited for the next flash of lightning. One looks to the blood in one's cupped hands. It is said that if one sees one's visage black and wasted, one will die of disease; if one sees oneself torn and scarlet, one will die in battle; if one sees oneself old and white haired, one will die in peace and leave children."
Outlaw of Gor, pg. 38
