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."

"History is not something distant and abstract. It is something we live and breathe every day."

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

"The pen is mightier than the sword."

"Literature opens the mind to new worlds"

"The interesting thing about books is that they're made of words."

"Literature captures the essence of what it means to be human."
