And so her slavery had been concealed, even from herself. - (Swordsmen of Gor, Chapter 22, Sentence #445)

And so a slave, how that had been concealed! And so she, in all her smugness, pretensions, pettiness, and vanity, had gone about, from day to day, conducting herself as usual, taking her cabs, dining in her restaurants, cultivating her potential clients, and such, thinking herself a free woman, not knowing herself only a slave, that she should be fittingly on her knees, head to the floor, before them. Did she not know the slave rope, invisible, was already upon her? It required only that it, at the convenience of masters, be tightened. Had White known this, might he not have conjectured seizing her from behind, holding her helplessly before him, and whispering in her startled ear, "Slave". And so her slavery had been concealed, even from herself. How many women, I wondered, even aside from acquisition lists, and such, are slaves, and do not know they are slaves. Or do they know themselves slaves, lacking only a master? How, I thought, might a civilization distort and pervert truth! How it can veil nature and conceal reality! How it can demean one thing and bedeck another, how it can in so many ways flee the serious, mighty, and worthy, and embrace the insignificant, the pathetic, the absurd, and ignoble. How it can lie, say, about men, and about women. - (Swordsmen of Gor)
