But the Goreans have a saying, which came to me in the darkness, in the hall. - (Marauders of Gor, Chapter 1, Sentence #196)

I, Tarl Cabot, or Bosk of Port Kar, was torn between worlds. I did not know how to live. I was bitter. 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". I do not fully understand this saying. How, for example, can one proceed to do what one does not know how to do? The answer, I suspect, is that the Gorean belief is that one does, truly, in some way, know how to live, though one may not know that one knows. - (Marauders of Gor)
