We’ve gathered together a listing of all the publications that the VERY prolific Dr. Lange, aka John Norman, has produced in his lifetime. Thus far. His books have sold more than 25,000,000 hard copy books, and the Gor novels have been published in at least 8 different languages. By any…
“A good maxim to keep in mind is that if it isn’t beautiful, it isn’t Gorean.”
– John Norman, afterword in ‘Witness of Gor’
“Truth not won is not possessed. We are not entitled to truths for which we have not fought.”
– John Norman, Marauders of Gor, Daw page 7
“Suppose that a woman, like a man, has buried instincts, of which they may not even become aware, but these instincts lie within them, dispositions to respond, dispositions locked into the very genetic codes of her being, instincts awaiting only the proper stimulus situation to be elicited and emerge,overpoweringly, irresistably, sweeping her, perhaps to her astonishment and horror, in a biological flood to her destiny, a destiny once triggered as incontrovertible and uncontrollable as the secretion of her glands and the mad beating of her heart.”
– John Norman, Captive of Gor, DAW page 264
“Now, with weapons and courage, perhaps for the first time, they were truly free men, for they could now defend their freedoms, and those who cannot do this are not truly free; at best they are
fortunate.”
– John Norman, Raiders of Gor, DAW page 301
“Many Earth moralities encourage resignation and accommodation; Gorean morality is bent more toward conquest and defiance; many Earth moralities encourage tenderness, pity and gentleness, sweetness; Gorean morality encourages honour, courage, hardness and strength. To Gorean morality, many Earth moralities might ask, ‘Why so hard?’. To these Earth moralities, the Gorean ethos might ask, ‘Why so soft?'”
– Marauders of Gor, DAW page 8
