Quote by E.P. Thompson

"The making of the English working class was the making of a people, conscious of themselves as a class."

"One cannot be a historian of the 18th century without understanding something of its social character."

"The poor have their own culture, their own values, their own way of looking at the world."

"We must rescue the poor stockinger, the Luddite cropper from the condescension of posterity."

"I've seen a lot of things in my time."

"That's how we archaeologists tell time."

"We must learn from history or be doomed to repeat it."

"Every artifact tells a story."
