The strong man can be bound only by himself; surely the weak and fearful, and hating, know that, and that is why they are so desperate to divide him, and make him of himself his own captor, and prisoner, and his own worst enemy. - (Kajira of Gor, Chapter 36, Sentence #432)

But the men of Gor, if only the unwitting beneficiaries of an historical accident, were never confused and tricked out of their birthright of health; or, I wondered, was it only a statistical anomaly, a rare sort of historical accident, or misadventure, or wrong turning, that some cultures were twisted away from vigor and normality, and lost in sparseness and desiccation? But perhaps, I thought, the men of Gor were not the sort, under any circumstances, who could have been confused and tricked out of their natural destiny. Such men, I suspected, would hear the distant baying of nature, and the lure of the forest and jungle. Such men, I suspected, maturing, would break away the walls of the kennels and pots in which the weak and fearing, and hating, would wish to confine them. The strong man can be bound only by himself; surely the weak and fearful, and hating, know that, and that is why they are so desperate to divide him, and make him of himself his own captor, and prisoner, and his own worst enemy. But the men of Gor, I suspected, would see through such stratagems, the hope of the resentful, and ill-constituted, and become themselves. The men of Gor, I thought, were different, stronger, than the men I knew from my old world. And yet I had little doubt that the men of Gor were human, very human. - (Kajira of Gor)
