E.e. CummingsSomething genuine like a mark in a toilet, graced with guts and gutted with grace
About This Quote
A toilet is not always a convenient place to keep your valuables. When we enter a public restroom we expect it to be clean and perhaps even safe. However, we often find that the public restroom is lousy with germs, and maybe even has a leak in the floor. In this case, a mark in a toilet is an optimistic sign of a clean toilet. A genuine, gutted with grace is the idea that someone who shows great courage and strength will have traits of both strength and gentleness.
