If someone is a straight jazzhead, or a straight metalhead, or straight classical, they have a very narrow range of what they allow into their lives. But the people who listen to what we put out into the world have to be open-minded. Because we're so pluralist.

John Zorn

I think people look at dance music and see it as kind of a bad thing, and bad people hang out in nightclubs, but it never felt that way for me. Growing up in Chicago, music was the thing that saved me, that kept me on the straight and narrow.

Kaskade

It created in me a yearning for all that is wide and open and expansive. Something that will never allow me to fit in in my own country, with its narrow towns and narrow roads and narrow kindnesses and narrow reprimands.

Anthony Hopkins

The desire to have power dissolves. The desire to dominate people for love dissolves. On the other hand, it's a relief to realize you can let go.

Allen Ginsberg

Make lots of noise Kiss lots of boys Or kiss lots of girls If that's something you're into When the straight and narrow Gets a little too straight Roll up a joint (or don't) Just follow your arrow Wherever it points.

Kacey Musgraves

There is no traffic congestion on the straight and narrow path.

Thomas Dewar, 1st Baron Dewar

The path of Truth is as narrow as it is straight. Even so is that of ahimsa.

Mahatma Gandhi

I've had some heart problems, and I'm on the straight and narrow.

Gary Rossington

On the straight and narrow path, there are simply no corners to be cut.

Neal A. Maxwell

Sports has kept me on the straight and narrow path.

Tommy Lasorda

I think that I work hard to make my music as a diary for new generations who find out about it years later. They can go through the history and see a trail. It's straight and narrow, you can see the growth and understand that I'm not afraid to give you honesty and be honest about anything that has to do with my story.
