Greta Thunberg

"Our house is on fire. I want you to panic."

"You are not mature enough to tell it like it is. Even that burden you leave to us children."

"No one is too small to make a difference."

"A lot of people want to just continue not doing anything."

"I have Asperger's and that means I'm sometimes a bit different."

"Why should I be studying for a future that soon may be no more, when no one is doing anything?"

"The climate crisis has already been solved. We already have the facts and solutions."

"You only talk about moving forward with the same bad ideas that got us into this mess."

"I am not asking for hope. I'm asking for action."

"Some people can let things go, but then they are not the right people."

"Change is coming whether you like it or not."

"Adults keep saying we owe it to the young people to give them hope. But I don't want your hope."

"The most important thing is to just start."

"You cannot solve a crisis without treating it as a crisis."

"I want you to act as if our house is on fire, because it is."

"Pretty soon we won't be able to live on this planet anymore."

"The problem is not really the climate. The problem is the culture."

"If everyone had done their part, every single year since 1990, we wouldn't be in this crisis."

"I have learned you are never too small to make a difference."

"Silence is not an option."

"We cannot live only for today. We have to think about tomorrow."

"You have stolen my dreams and my childhood."

"The moment we decide it is impossible is the moment it becomes impossible."

"I just want you to panic the same way I do."

"The climate crisis is not just about the climate. It's about justice."

"We live in a strange world where everyone seems to agree that future is very important."

"I am not here to give you hope. I am here to tell you the truth."

"This is not a political issue. This is a crisis."

"We are running out of time and you need to know that."

"I shouldn't have to do this. You should all be doing this."
