“Our relationship with nature is broken. But relationships can change. When we protect nature – we are nature protecting itself.”

Humanity is a civilisation in the middle of the ocean, and we are right now setting fire to our boat”

Humans are part of nature, and if we are not doing well, then nature is not doing well, because we are nature.

This fight hasn’t yet been won. So save your celebrations and congratulations and support women on the frontlines of society worldwide.

I think in many ways that we autistic are the normal ones and the rest of the people are pretty strange.

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 children are doing this because we want our hopes and dreams back.

To protect, restore and rewild the living world is probably the most effective solution we have at hand to fight both the climate- and ecological emergencies.

Hope doesn’t come from words. Hope only comes from actions.

In case you’re still wondering why there’s no real change in sight… We can’t solve a crisis unless we treat it like a crisis.

People keep doing what they do because the vast majority doesn’t have a clue about the consequences of our everyday life. And they don’t know the rapid changes required.

All we have to do is to wake up and change.

You say that you love your children above everything else. And yet you are stealing their future.

Sometimes NOT doing things – like just sitting down outside the parliament – speaks much louder than doing things. Just like a whisper sometimes is louder than shouting.

The real power belongs to the people.

We understand that the world is very complex and that change doesn’t happen overnight. But you’ve now had more than three decades of blah blah blah. How many more do you need?

I wonder, what will you tell your children was the reason to fail and leave them facing the climate chaos you knowingly brought upon them?

We can’t call for climate justice while advocating for policies and phase-out-dates based on targets that exclude aspect of equity and historic emissions.

When you tell someone you love them do you remember loving me.

I wonder what it would be like if I took care of my body as well as I take care of your memory.

I kind of left everyone behind in Australia – all my friends and my family and I had to break up with my boyfriend.

Sometimes a break up breaks us open to love even more.

Maybe we are supposed to break, so that through our cracks our flowers can grow.

Music and dance is universal, and I want to break borders and represent.

Nietzsche’s break with Schopenhauer rests on precisely this point; it is a matter of knowing whether the will is unitary or multiple.

I’m doing good. I’ve had a slight nervous breakdown in the ’60s. I got through that. And I got through the ’70s. And I was in a doctor’s program during the ’80s and then I met Melinda and we’ve been together ever since. I’ve got a happy life.
