Quotes about: Reality

  "Van Jones: 'Hope for the Best, Expect and Prepare for the Worst'". Interview with Clara Jeffery, www.motherjones.com. November 14, 2016.

• That old Bobby Kennedy 1968 form of liberalism where you could be holding hands with the Appalachian family on one day and then be in Harlem the next day and nobody thinks it's weird, that is something that isn't as strong.
