Quotation from: The Gods of Mars

Written by: Edgar Rice Burroughs


Could you know the customs and the character of red Martians you
would appreciate the depth of meaning that that simple act conveyed
to me and to all about us who witnessed it. The thing was equivalent
to saying, "My sword, my body, my life, my soul are yours to do
with as you wish. Until death and after death I look to you alone
for authority for my every act. Be you right or wrong, your word
shall be my only truth. Whoso raises his hand against you must
answer to my sword."
