Deeply religious imagery - Matthew Chapter Seven verses 13-14:
Verse 13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat
Verse 14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life.
