Quotes by John Norman  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“Life is too short and too precious to waste it living out someone else’s values. We must find our own.”
John Norman, Imaginative Sex

“No man who has seen a woman in Pleasure Silk, or watched her dance, or heard the sound of a belled ankle or watched a woman's hair, unbound, fall to her waist can long live without the possession of such a delicious creature.”
John Norman, Outlaw of Gor

“The Gorean myths have it," I said, "that the woman longs for this identity—to be herself in being his—if only for the moment of paradox in which she is slave and thus freed.”
John Norman, Nomads of Gor
