Greta Thunberg — "We are not going to wait for you to act. We are going to make you act."

"This is all wrong. I shouldn't be up here. I should be back in school on the other side of the ocean."

"We are in the beginning of a mass extinction, and all you can talk about is money and fairy tales of eternal economic growth. How dare you!"

"We are facing an emergency, and we need to act like it is an emergency."

"Some say that we should go back to school instead. But why should we be studying for a future that soon may be no more?"

"We live in a strange world, where we think we can buy or build our way out of a crisis that has been created by buying and building things."
