"As beautiful as simplicity is, it can become a tradition that stands in the way of exploration"
- Laura Nyro
About this Quote
In this quote, Laura Nyro is highlighting the duality of simpleness. On one hand, simplicity is often seen as a desirable quality, something that is visually pleasing and easy to comprehend. However, Nyro likewise cautions that simpleness can end up being a limitation when it ends up being a custom. When something ends up being a tradition, it is frequently duplicated and implanted in society, making it hard to differ. This can stifle imagination and limitation exploration, as people might feel pressured to conform to the traditional methods instead of trying new things. Nyro's words work as a reminder to not let simpleness end up being a barrier to growth and discovery.
