Notes
- The title is derived from the poem "The Road Not Taken" by Robert Frost
- Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
- I took the one less traveled by,
- And that has made all the difference.
The common interpretation is that one may be rewarded greatly by choosing a more difficult path than the one used by the crowd. The phrase may also have had a religious meaning for Frost, alluding to Matthew 7,12-14, which mentions a broad gate leading to destruction and a narrow gate leading to salvation. [3]
