3	41	Whereas there was a main common tongue on Gor, with apparently several related dialects or sublanguages, some of the Gorean languages bore in sound little resemblance to anything I had heard before, at least as languages; they resembled rather the cries of birds and the growls of animals; they were ...	10

12	64	Of one thing I was certain—there would be no human assistance or even pity, for the poor wretches on the frames are none but villains, betrayers, and blasphemers against the Priest-Kings, and it is a sacrilegious act even to consider terminating their sufferings.	10
13	43	It was a human being, moving with surprising alacrity over the rough ground.	10
13	109	From the bent heap of rags that was a fellow human being, a hand reached up to me, the fingers crooked, as though they might have been the claws of a chicken.	10

19	113	Not even a scream came from that fierce blue combustive mass that had been a human being, and in a minute the flame had departed, almost as quickly as it had come, and a dust of ashes scattered from the top of the cylinder in the wind.	10

Book 2. (19 results) Outlaw of Gor

Chapter #	Sentence #	Quote	Confidence
1	43	It was the reflex of an animal whose instinct it is to destroy before it can be destroyed, or of a human being who has been tooled into such an animal, a human being who has been conditioned to kill swiftly, savagely, or be killed in the same fashion.	10
1	61	I seemed to answer a desperate need for human fellowship in that lonely man, and, for my part, I was more than happy to count myself his friend, unfortunately perhaps, his only friend.	10
2	17	The Priest-Kings, Keepers of the Holy Place in the Sardar Mountains, seeming knowers of all that occurred on Gor, masters of the hideous Flame Death that could with consuming fire destroy whatever they wished, whenever they might please, were not so crudely motivated as men, were not susceptible to ...	10
2	18	Their concern was with their own remote and mysterious ends; to achieve these ends, human creatures were treated as subservient instruments.	10
2	40	The Gorean senses, or believes, that a city cannot be simply identified with its material elements, which undergo their transformations even as do the cells of a human body.	10
3	54	"Tal," he said, his voice thick, almost less than human.	10
5	71	Was it on my account that a city had perished? Was it I who had brought disaster to its people, to my father, to my friends and Talena? Had I been too foolish to understand that I was nothing before the power of the Priest-Kings? Was I now to wander the forlorn roads and fields of Gor in guilt and a...	10

6	14	Gor, sparsely inhabited by human beings, teems with animal life, and in the next weeks I had no difficulty in living by hunting.	10
6	49	Too often they are seen less as persons, human beings with rights, individuals worthy of concern and regard than as potential pleasure slaves, silken, bangled prisoners, possible adornments to the pleasure gardens of their captors.	10
8	63	In spite of this conviction, incomprehensibly, I found myself depressed by Tharna, and wondered if it, in its way, were not somehow, subtly, more barbaric, more harsh, less human than its ruder, less noble, more beautiful sisters.	10
10	92	It was large enough to accommodate a human being.	10
10	94	On the walls, as though in some workshop, there hung instruments of various sorts, which I shall not describe, other than to say that they were ingeniously designed for the torment of human beings.	10
14	167	In several cases tarns have devoured their own masters, and it is not unusual for them, when loosed for feeding, to attack a human being with the same predatory zest they bestow on the yellow antelope, the tabuk, their favorite kill, or the ill-tempered, cumbersome bosk, a shaggy, long-haired wild o...	10
14	171	I wondered sometimes if that bird, my Ubar of the Skies, that tarn of tarns, of a race of birds spoken of by Goreans as Brothers of the Wind, might have considered himself as above the goad, resented its shocks and sparks, resented that that puny human device would pretend to teach him, he, a tarn o...	10

Book 3. (95 results) Priest-Kings of Gor

Chapter #	Sentence #	Quote	Confidence
1	97	It is said that neither the physical intricacies of the cosmos nor the emotions of human beings are beyond the scope of their power, that the feelings of men and the motions of atoms and stars are as one to them, that they can control the very forces of gravity and invisibly sway the hearts of human...	10
18	10	The visual mark was plain to human eyes but it would not be likely to be noticed by Priest-Kings, any more than a small, insignificant sound is likely to be noticed by a human who is not listening for it and is attending to other things.	10
27	35	Had they not destroyed my city? Had they not scattered its people? Had they not destroyed men by Flame Death and brought them, willing or no, to their own world on the Voyages of Acquisition? Had they not implanted their control nets in human beings and spun the hideous mutations of the Gur Carriers...	10
28	178	What sensory data might escape the antennae might well be discovered by the sharp-eyed human, and what subtle scent might escape the human senses would likely be easily picked up by the Priest-King in the group.	10
29	13	Here and there where a human or Priest-King would dart into the open the cone nearest to him would focus on him and the human or Priest-King, like the buildings and the walls, would seem to break apart into powder.	10
2	19	Sometimes these individuals are young idealists, rebels and champions of lost causes, who wish to protest to Priest-Kings; sometimes they are individuals who are old or diseased and are tired of life and wish to die; sometimes they are piteous or cunning or frightened wretches who think to find the ...	10
2	44	Here and there bones littered the path, human bones.	10
2	101	This may seem cruel but in the long run it tends to be conservative of human life; it is better, as the Goreans say, for one man to die than many.	10
4	134	His eyes were unlike mine, or those of a human being.	10
5	190	Apparently the rays which must emanate from the sensors, rays not within that portion of the spectrum visible to the human eye, must possess the power to penetrate at least common molecular structures, something like an X ray pierces flesh.	10
7	13	My business was not to console her, not to tell her not to be afraid, not to give her the comfort of another human presence.	10
7	96	Never before had I been so aware of the thin margin of reality admitted into the human nervous system, little more than a razor's width of apprehension given the multiple and complex physical processes which formed our environment.	10
8	32	No wonder the Priest-Kings hid behind their palisade in the Sardar and let the myths of the Initiates build a wall of human terror about them, no wonder they let their nature and ends be secret, no wonder they took such pains to conceal and obscure their plans and purposes, their devices, their inst...	10
9	173	"It is a female of the human kind," she said, "but bred like a beast for its beauty and its passion".	10
10	1	Misk the Priest-King The Priest-Kings have little or no scent of their own which is detectable by the human nostrils, though one gathers there is a nest odor by which they may identify one another, and that the variations in this nest odor permit identifications of individuals.	10
10	3	The slightly acrid odor I had noticed tends to be a common property of all such signals, much as there is a common property to the sound of a human voice, whether it be that of an Englishman, a Bushman, a Chinese or a Gorean, which sets it apart from, say, the growling of animals, the hiss of snakes...	10
10	89	Perhaps men did not much laugh in the tunnels of the Priest-Kings and it was not accustomed to this human practice.	10
10	112	This seemed to me significant, far more significant than the mere fact that a Priest-King might not understand a human laugh.	10
11	68	Perhaps it had had experience with human anger.	10
12	7	"I see human beings here," I said to Misk.	10
12	39	At that moment a human girl walked near and wide-eyed circled us, looking at me.	10
12	98	"In the Nest," said Misk, "the expression 'Mul' is used to designate a human slave".	10
12	104	"I assume," I said, "you have more than twenty-eight human slaves".	10
12	114	Perhaps Misk had meant merely that they were unusually excellent representatives of the human type.	10
12	118	It is an artificially constructed human being.	10
12	152	"You call these perfect human beings?" I asked, waving my arms toward the two slaves.	10
12	156	"The most perfect human being is of course the most perfect slave," said Sarm.	10
12	157	"The most perfect human being," I said, "is free".	10
12	198	"Perhaps they are not perfect human beings".	10
12	239	"And yet you say they are human," I said.	10
12	242	"We are human," it said very simply.	10
12	246	"I too am human," said the other, looking at me rather directly.	10
12	252	"Of course," said the first man, "for we are human".	10
13	11	Scents, of course, will fade in time, but the specially prepared synthetic products of the Priest-Kings can last for thousands of years and, in the long run, will surely outlast the fading print of human books, the disintegrating celluloid of our films, perhaps even the carved, weathering stones so ...	10
13	21	With respect to the rather complex syllabary, I originally supposed that it had never been simplified because the Priest-King, with his intelligence, would absorb the four hundred and eleven characters of his syllabary more rapidly than would a human child his alphabet of less than thirty letters, a...	10
13	36	On none of the doors that we had passed thus far was the stylized outline picture of a human.	10
13	37	Down the hall running towards us, not frantically but rather deliberately, at a steady pace, came a young human female, of perhaps eighteen years of age, with shaved head and clad in the brief plastic tunic of a Mul.	10
13	117	Looking up I saw beneath the square of scent-dots fixed high on the steel door the stylized outline picture of what was unmistakably a human being.	10
14	105	"It is fortunate," said Misk, "that you did not swallow it, for the washing fluid contains a cleansing additive that is highly toxic to human physiology".	10
14	155	To my human mind, used to the cruelties with which selfish men can implement their schemes, I saw nothing incomprehensible in the fact that Sarm would have attempted to engineer Misk's death.	10
15	54	"Of course," said Misk, "for you are a human".	10
16	137	"The frightened human, when fleeing and disoriented, tends to circle," said Misk.	10
17	48	"Nest Trust with a human?" asked Sarm.	10
17	61	* * * * I did not ask to see the Mother, for I knew that was forbidden to those of the human kind, but I found Sarm a most attentive and gracious guide, quick to answer my questions and suggest places of interest.	10
17	117	"You would kill the man?" "It is only a human," said Sarm.	10
17	164	"The truth is," said Sarm, "that the human is a dangerous and predatory species".	10
18	31	"Is it human to be fair?" asked Mul-Ba-Ta.	10
18	34	"Yes," said Mul-Ba-Ta, "we wish to be human".	10
18	35	"Perhaps you will teach us someday how to be human?" asked Mul-Al-Ka.	10
18	52	"But you will teach us about being human, will you not?" asked Mul-Al-Ka.	10
18	67	"Yes," said Mul-Ba-Ta, "we would like that very much!" "But first," asked Mul-Al-Ka, "will you not show us how to be human?" "Why, how foolish you are!" scolded Mul-Ba-Ta.	10
18	74	"He is teaching us to be human".	10
18	86	With him at my side I had access to many areas which would otherwise have been closed to a human.	10
18	163	"There can be no Nest Trust between a Priest-King and a human," said Sarm.	10
20	208	"Is it human to act as you do?" inquired Mul-Ba-Ta.	10
20	209	"Yes," I said, "it is the part of a man to protect a female of the human kind, regardless of who she may be".	10
20	227	"You may if you wish," I said, "but it is not really very human on your part".	10
20	234	"It is simply not human at all to just go off and report to the dissection chambers".	10
21	31	We listened carefully and in the distance it seemed we heard, incredibly enough, the mournful singing of human voices, as though of many men, and the sound was as we determined by listening for a minute or two gradually nearing.	10
21	47	The men who came through the door in the long mournful procession may have been of the human kind or they may not have been.	10
21	48	They were shaven and clad in plastic as are all Muls of the Nest, but their torsos seemed smaller and rounder than those of a human being and their legs and arms seemed extraordinarily long for their body size and the hands and feet seemed unusually wide.	10
22	74	"They are just being human," I said.	10
22	108	"Then," said Misk, "between a Priest-King and two of the human kind".	10
22	114	"Yes," I said, "hide and teach others who are of the human kind".	10
22	116	"To be human," I said.	10
22	117	"But what is it to be human," begged Mul-Ba-Ta, "for you have never told us".	10
22	119	"You must yourself decide what it is to be human".	10
22	137	"No," I said, "you must go to the human kind".	10
22	142	"Everywhere in the Nest," I said, "you must go everywhere that there is something human to be found".	10
23	13	In one corner there were scattered bones and among them the shards of a human skull.	10
23	28	She was of the human kind and whatever might have been her faults, she could not have deserved this grotesque, macabre fate, the jaws and cavern of the Golden Beetle.	10
25	115	I saw bones, perhaps human bones, in the bottom of their case.	10
26	259	As the girl spoke and I tried to lightly dismiss her words, I wondered at the long processes of evolution that had nurtured over thousands of generations what had in time become the human kind.	10
27	34	I did not know the location of the female egg nor could I have tended it had I known; and, further, that the race of Priest-Kings should wither and die did not seem the proper business of a human, particularly considering my hatred for them, and my rejection of their mode of regulating in so many im...	10
27	45	His reactions were almost those that a human might have had if he could hear something in the room with him but had not yet been able to see it.	10
27	48	To another human, of course, my hair alone, which is a shaggy, bright red, would have been a clearly recognizable feature, but Priest-Kings, as I may have indicated, tend to have extremely casual visual discrimination and are, moreover, I would gather, color blind.	10
27	106	I was perhaps the first human who had ever beheld this ceremony.	10
27	124	Together, in silence to human ears but to the swelling intensities of scent-music, in stately, stalking procession the two Priest-Kings approached the Mother, and I saw Misk, first, dip his mouth to the great golden bowl on its tripod and then approach her.	10
27	170	Then, with a force that might have been that of clashing, golden glaciers, Misk's jaws tightened and turned and suddenly Sarm was thrown to his back beneath him and in the instant Sarm struck the floor Misk's jaws had slipped their grip to the thick tube about which hung the string of Tola's silveri...	10
27	193	Never before had a human set foot in this chamber and I knew not if I had committed sacrilege but I did not care, for my friend was in danger.	10
28	257	We heard only human sounds and the extent and fearfulness of these were our only index to the destruction being wrought above.	10
29	19	If it were not for that what I intended to hazard would possibly have been beyond human capacity.	10
30	72	The exudate which forms on the mane hairs of the Golden Beetle, which had overcome me in the close confines of the tunnel, apparently has a most intense and, to a human mind, almost incomprehensibly compelling effect on the unusually sensitive antennae of Priest-Kings, luring them helplessly, almost...	10
30	74	The Priest-Kings themselves said nothing, explained nothing, to their dumbfounded human companions but merely laid aside their weapons and approached the Beetles.	10
30	77	Now the Beetles roamed at random throughout the Nest, more of a threat to Sarm's own forces than Misk's, for now none of Misk's Priest-Kings ventured abroad without a human to protect it should it encounter a Golden Beetle.	10
30	80	Oddly enough, to human thinking, neither Misk nor Sarm would permit their humans to slay the Beetles, for Priest-Kings, for a reason which I will later relate, find themselves normally unwilling to slay or order the destruction of the dangerous, fused-winged creatures.	10
30	169	As the War continued I became more and more impressed with the loyalty and courage of the men and women serving Misk, who for a bit of fungus and water and freedom were willing to sell their lives in one of the strangest conflicts ever fought by men, boldly serving one of the most unusual causes tha...	10
31	47	Then to my amazement Sarm turned and though I was but a human he fled from the plaza.	10
31	203	"You are human," said the translator.	10
32	113	"It is human," said Ba-Ta.	10
32	115	"But human," said Ba-Ta.	10
32	185	"I wish you well, Tarl Cabot, human," he said.	10
35	104	I could see human figures huddled about it, looking up at the hill.	10
35	108	"I am needed in the Nest and even so my antennae cannot stand the sun—not for more than a few hours at most—and if I so much as approached a human being it would probably fear me and try to slay me".	10
35	109	"Then you will have to find a human," I said to him.	10

15	192	In her opinion, and perhaps rightly, the positions of both were subtle combinations of truths and half-truths; Phyllis seemed to regard men and women as unimportant differentiations off a sexless, neuter stock, whereas Flaminius argued for a position in which women were hardly to be recognized as be...	10
15	200	She had learned on Gor that women are marvelous, but that they are not men, nor should they be; that they are themselves; that they are independent, magnificent creatures; that it takes two sexes for the human race to be whole; and that each is splendid.	10
