Quotation from: The Gods of Mars

Written by: Edgar Rice Burroughs


"And if we are victorious," I asked, "what then--freedom?"


He laughed.


"Freedom, forsooth. The only freedom for us death. None who
enters the domains of the First Born ever leave. If we prove able
fighters we are permitted to fight often. If we are not mighty
fighters--" He shrugged his shoulders. "Sooner or later we die
in the arena."


"And you have fought often?" I asked.
