It may come from contentment, from happiness, from fulfillment, from joy, from such things. Such things cannot help but transform one’s expressions, one’s movements, one’s entire attitude and behavior. The beauty of the outside begins its journey from within.” (Witness of Gor, p.51)

102. “Not all instruments of torture are of iron; not all implements of discipline are of leather.” (Witness of Gor, p.67)

103. “You may find it objectionable. I do not. I love it. In it I find my fulfillment, my happiness, my joy!.

105. “Little on Earth prepares a woman for Gor.” (Witness of Gor, p.188)

106. “Choiceless we would serve, docile, obedient, fearful, overwhelmed. They were our masters. Did they care what was in our secret hearts? Did they know we wished to be taken in hand, commanded, prized? Did they know we wished to be objects of such desire, that we wanted to be sought, tenaciously and powerfully, and relished? Did they know they had appeared in a thousand secret dreams, as our masters? Did they know that we were born for them, that we would be forever incomplete without them? I asked only, choicelessly, to love and serve such men.” (Witness of Gor, p.190)

107. “The men of this world, with all their barbaric animal heat, with all their ardor, and power and mastery, loved and desired women, and relished them, and prized them. The last thing they would want to do would be to decrease the beauty or value of a woman. Even their strictest and most severe devices of punishment and discipline were designed with the protection of such features in mind. Indeed, if anything, these men insisted on the women making themselves, and keeping themselves, as desirable, attractive and beautiful as possible.” (Witness of Gor, p.207)

108. “We are seldom, if ever, marked unless there is a purpose to it, as, say, when we are put under the hot iron and branded, say, for purposes of identification. It is thought to be stupid to gratuitously mark a slave. Such things may lower her value. Even the dreaded five-bladed slave whip is designed in such a way as to avoid marking the slave in any permanent fashion. One need not fear any lessening in discipline, of course, for there is, well within the parameters of protecting the master’s investment, more than enough, far more than enough, I assure you, and from personal experience, which may be done with us.” (Witness of Gor, p.235-236)

111. “I had been told I must live a lie. I had been told I must pretend to be what I was not. But here I had learned I must live the truth, and must be true to myself.” (Witness of Gor, p.308)

112. “Slavery has many effects on a woman, he said, It softens her, it enhances her beauty, it gives her a profound sense of herself, it fulfills her, it increases, considerably, her sexual responsiveness, it increases a thousandfold her capabilities to love, but one effect it does not have, it does not reduce her intelligence.” (Witness of Gor, p.311)

113. “There is a sense, he said, in which the opinion of a slave is worthless, and another sense in which it might not be worthless. The sense in which it might not be worthless is the sense in which it might be true, or insightful, or helpful, such things. But in that sense the opinion of an urt or sleen, or any other form of animal, might not be worthless. It might be true, or insightful, or helpful, such things. The sense in which the opinion of a slave, or other form of animal, is worthless is the sense in which it is just that, the opinion of a slave, or animal.” (Witness of Gor, p.311)

114. “We quickly learned that the masters are truly ‘Master.’” (Witness of Gor, p.317)

115. “There are two sexes, I said. One is dominant, and the one is not. Each should be true to itself. One this world, this basic truth has been recognized, and, in a portion of the social sphere, institutionalized.” (Witness of Gor, p.319-20)

116. “We despise and hate men too weak to keep us as slaves, for they then deny to us own nature, and not only theirs to themselves. We want only to be owned, and to serve and love our masters. Is that too much to ask?” (Witness of Gor, p.354)

117. “A slave is expected to be beautiful. She is expected to be worth owning. How reassuring, incidentally, that one is here recognized as being of sufficient interest and importance to be looked at, really looked at. One is here regarded as being worthy of attention, literally, and is actually accorded it. On my old world everyone, it seems, is regarded as being infinitely important but no one pays much attention to anyone else. How tragic, I thought, that so few of the women of Earth are ever truly looked at. It is not that they are invisible. It is only that no one pays them any attention.” (Witness of Gor, p.387)

118. “The slave, incidentally, wants to be owned by a man of honor. We want to be proud of our masters. Too, we are safer with such a man. The man of honor, of course, and perhaps in part because of his sense of honor, holds us in uncompromising, perfect bondage. But that is what we want, for we are slaves.” (Witness of Gor, p.408)

119. “The free woman is a political concept, I said, with a particular political history, relevant to a particular time and place. The true woman is a biological concept, relative to a species, its nature, and the conditions germane to its fulfillment.” (Witness of Gor, p.457)

120. “I think that we, women, although not immune to male beauty, are less seriously influenced by it than men, the brutes, by female beauty. Indeed, a pretty male face can be aversive to us. The masculinity that attracts us, and can overwhelm us, is one of intelligence, power and virility, one of ruggedness and might. We are looking, so to speak, for our harem master, although we would hope to be the only slave in the harem. We want a man at whose feet we feel it is appropriate that we should kneel, as woman, and slaves. We do not want an equal, that is not enough for us, we want more than that, we want a master. We want him to be strong, ambitious, aggressive, possessive, jealous, lustful, dangerous, dominant. We want him to guard us, and protect us, and own us, with masculine ferocity, to see us as his rightful properties. We want to feel ourselves as though we were nothing before his wrath and power. We want to feel that it is the most important thing in the world for us that we please him. We want him to be jealous of us, and fiercely possessive of us we want to be important to him; we do not want to be ignored or neglected; we do not want to be taken for granted, or just be ‘there,’ perhaps almost unnoticed, as are so many ‘wives’ of Earth, the slave, I assure you, receives a great deal of attention, perhaps more than she sometimes cares for, she, in her service, and subject to his command and domination, is muchly noticed, one of the cruelest of punishments he can inflict upon us is to subject us to the same neglect and indifference commonly accorded to an Earth ‘wife’; how we strive to be pleasing to hi, that that will not occur; but it seldom occurs; better the mercy of the slave lash; he must want to keep track of us, for we are his possessions; he must want to know our thoughts, our whereabouts, and our every action. He desires us; he lusts for us; and we are his; and so he is jealous of us and inordinately possessive of us, his relished goods, his coveted prize, his properties, his slaves; and so he keeps us on a short leash.” (Witness of Gor, p.459-460)

121. “But, to be sure, much depends on the mysterious chemistries which can obtain between masters and slaves. How else explain the fascination that even a plain slave may sometimes exercise over the most powerful, rich, and handsome of men, to the puzzlement and dismay of beauties languishing in his pleasure garden? How else explain how a slave worthy of a ubar’s palace may in a market, unbidden, throw herself in her chains to her belly before an ugly, low-born, monstrous brute, pleading desperately to be purchased? Has she seen in him her master? Similarly, consider the power which such a brute may sometimes exercise over even free, beautiful, high-born damsels, such that, at the very sight of him, they will kneel and beg his collar. In him, perhaps, they, too, have seen their master.” (Witness of Gor, p.491)

122. “Bondage, as a whole, incidentally, has a tendency to enhance the beauty of women,…” (Witness of Gor, p.544)

123. “No woman can be fully fulfilled and happy until she finds herself at the feet of her master.” (Witness of Gor, p.544)

124. “Many women do not know how beautiful they are until they see themselves, bound and collared, in a mirror.” (Witness of Gor, p.544)

125. “This is surely one of the deepest and most profound relationships in which a woman can stand to a man, that of slave to master, and, ideally, that of love slave to love master.” (Witness of Gor, p.587)

126. “Women love to speak. It is one of our great pleasures.” (Witness of Gor, p.639)
