Greta Thunberg — "If you can't treat me with respect, then don't invite me."

"We are facing an existential crisis. And yet, there is almost no discussion or sense of urgency whatsoever. We are not just talking about 'change.' We are talking about death."

"You are failing us. But the young people are starting to understand your betrayal. The eyes of all future generations are upon you."

"We children are doing this to wake the adults up. We children are doing this for you to put your differences aside and start acting as you would in a crisis."

"We are now standing at a crossroads in history. We are failing but we have not yet failed."

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