Greta Thunberg — "We are not in school today because we are fighting for our future."

"You are not mature enough to tell it like it is."

"You say you hear us, and that you understand the urgency. But no matter how sad and angry I am, I do not want to believe that. Because if you really understood the situation and still kept on failing …"

"The climate crisis is not just about the environment. It is a crisis of human rights, of justice, and of willpower. Political systems have failed. But human beings have not."

"If you are not willing to change, then we will change you."

"This ongoing irresponsible behavior will no doubt be remembered in history as one of the greatest failures of humankind."
