The figure of speech used in the expression: "Normality is a paved road. It's comfortable to walk, but no flowers grow." is metaphor. 'Normality' has been compared to 'a paved road' The meaning of the expression is: 'It is easy to achieve normal success on life; but one does not find beautiful rewards (flowers) by walking on the road of normality. Big rewards can be reaped by being brilliant only, not by being normal.'
