"'Surely, someday on Earth, said the man, 'the males will dare to be men?'
'I do not think so,' I said, 'save for rare individuals. The process of teaching, unconscious, subtle, pervasive, is too effective. It is not unusual for a woman to fear her womanhood; what is less generally recognized is that many men fear their own manhood; they conceal their blood; they pretend it does not exist; it is even dangerous, in such a society, to suggest that men consider honesty in such matters, to suggest that they dare to be men, to suggest that they might, if they wished, tear away their own chains. The weakest, the most trapped among them, are often the first, with hysteria, knowing they themselves are not strong enough to take their rightful freedoms, and envying others they fear might have the strength, to denounce such modest suggestions.'
'The weak,' said the man, 'are always those who fear the strong.'
'They fear, not strangely, a world in which not everyone is like themselves.'
'Let us all be weak, for I am weak,' smiled the man.
'Yes,' I said."

"[The morality of Earth] lays great stress on equalities and being humble and being pleasant and avoiding friction and being ingratiating and small.... The Gorean morality on the other hand is more one of inequalities, based on the assumption that individuals are not the same, but quite different in many ways."
- MARAUDERS OF GOR, Pg. 8
[861] "A declaration of war on the masses by higher men is needed! Everywhere the mediocre are combining in order to make themselves master! Everything that makes soft and effeminate, that serves the ends of the 'people' or the 'feminine,' works in favor of suffrage universel, ie., the dominion of inferior men. But we should take reprisal and bring this whole affair to light and to the bar of judgment."

[280] "The instinct of the herd considers the middle and the mean as the highest and most valuable: the place where the majority finds itself; the mode and manner in which it finds itself. It is therefore an opponent of all orders of rank, it sees an ascent from beneath to above as a descent from the majority to the minority. The herd feels the exception, whether it be below or above it, as something opposed and harmful to it. Fear ceases in the middle: here one is never alone; here one's own form of being is not felt as a reproach but as the right form of being; here contentment rules. Mistrust is felt towards the exceptions; to be an exception is experienced as guilt."

"We are alien to each other, and their virtues are even more distasteful to me than their falseness and their loaded dice. And when I lived with them, I lived above them. That is why they developed a grudge against me. They did not want to hear how someone was living over their heads; and so they put wood and earth and filth between me and their heads. Thus they muffled the sound of my steps: and so far I have beeen heard least well by the most scholarly. Between themselves and me they laid all human faults and weaknesses: 'false ceilings' they call them in their houses. And yet I live over their heads with my thoughts; and even if I wanted to walk upon my own mistakes, I would still be over their heads.
For men are not equal: thus speaks justice. And what I want, they should have no right to want!"
