Quotation from: The Gods of Mars

Written by: Edgar Rice Burroughs

that I have seen men transformed into raging brutes when robbed by
one of their fellow-prisoners of a few precious moments of it.

position in which I had left him.


"Man," I cried, "it will profit you nothing to mope thus. It were
no disgrace to be bested by John Carter. You have seen that in the
ease with which I accounted for Thurid. You knew it before when
on the cruiser's deck you saw me slay three of your comrades."
