A few miles south of Soledad, the Salinas River drops in close to the hillside bank and runs deep and green. The water is warm too, for it has slipped twinkling over the yellow sands in the sunlight before reaching the narrow pool. John Steinbeck
Fyodor Dostoevsky quote: "Man is broad, too broad, indeed. I'd have him narrower."
Man is broad, too broad, indeed. I'd have him narrower. Fyodor Dostoevsky
Her chief dread in life, at this period of her development, was that she would appear narrow minded; what she feared next afterwards was that she should be so. Henry James
The one great principle of the English law is, to make business for itself. There is no other principle distinctly, certainly, and consistently maintained through all its narrow turnings. Viewed by this light it becomes a coherent scheme, and not the monstrous maze the laity are apt to think it. Let them but once clearly perceive that its grand principle is to make business for itself at their expense, and surely they will cease to grumble. Charles Dickens
Richard Dawkins quote: "I am an enthusiastic Darwinian, but I think Darwinism is too..."

Home-life, when one always stays at home, is necessarily narrowing. That is one reason why so many women are petty and unthoughtful of any except their own family's interests. We have hardly begun to live until we can take in the idea of the whole human family as the one to which we truly belong. Lucy Larcom
The rights hereby asserted are of the natural rights of mankind, and that if any act shall be hereafter passed to repeal the present or to narrow its operation, such act will be an infringement of natural right. Thomas Jefferson
Misfortune is needed to plumb certain mysterious depths in the understanding of men; pressure is needed to explode the charge. My captivity concentrated all my faculties on a single point. They had previously been dispersed, now they clashed in a narrow space; and, as you know, the clash of clouds produces electricity, electricity produces lightning and lightning gives light. Alexander Dumas
Henry B. Adams quote: "Life is a narrow valley, and the roads run close together"
Life is a narrow valley, and the roads run close together Henry B. Adams
Steig Larsson quote: "I have a truly marvellous demonstration of this proposition..."
I have a truly marvellous demonstration of this proposition which this margin is too narrow to contain. Steig Larsson
Mercedes Lackey quote: "He isn't stupid, but his interests are so narrow I doubt I..."
He isn't stupid, but his interests are so narrow I doubt I could slip a sheet of paper in between them Mercedes Lackey
that man is a reality, mankind an abstraction; that men cannot be treated as units in operations of political arithmetic because they behave like the symbols for zero and the infinite, which dislocate all mathematical operations; that the end justifies the means only within very narrow limits; that ethics is not a function of social utility, and charity not a petty bourgeois sentiment but the gravitational force which keeps civilization in its orbit. Arthur Koestler
You know how some kids get excited about the first day of school and have an outfit all picked out and a new lunch box and stuff? Well, they're bleeping idiots. Can we play hooky?" Iggy muttered as he scrambled eggs. Somehow I suspect they're picky about that," I said, dropping more bread into the toaster.
