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

In this election, you vote for the future living conditions of mankind.

My generation, and those coming after, are the future. We deserve to be fought for. We deserve climate justice, social justice and equity.

We have not come here to beg world leaders to care. You have ignored us in the past and you will ignore us again. You’ve run out of excuses and we’re running out of time. We’ve come here to let you know that change is coming whether you like it or not.

I think weakness, in a way, can be also needed because we don’t have to be the loudest, we don’t have to take up the most amount of space, and we don’t have to earn the most money… We need to care about each other more.

what we women want today – and every day- is fundamental equal rights, not congratulations or celebrations.

We don’t want these things done by 2050, 2030 or even 2021, we want this done now – as in right now.

This climate law is surrender – because nature doesn’t bargain and you cannot make ”deals” with physics. And we will not allow you to surrender on our future.

The fight is not over yet. The fight is only over when the people say it’s over.

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

The eyes of future generations are upon you. No more excuses.

Regrowth takes time the world does not have to solve climate change

That we live in a post-truth society today, and that we don’t care, that we have lost empathy. We have stopped caring for each other in a way. We have stopped thinking long-term and sustainable. And that’s something that goes much deeper than just climate crisis deniers.

Avoiding climate breakdown will require cathedral thinking. We must lay the foundation while we may not know exactly how to build the ceiling.

The changes needed to safeguard future living conditions for all species won’t come from governments or businesses. It will come from best available science and public opinion. So its unto us. Spread the science.

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

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

I personally think we developed language because of our deep need to complain.

Whatever you compromise to gain, you will lose.

Nobody wants to be here and nobody wants to leave.

If a poet has a dream, it is not of becoming famous, but of being believed.

I always wondered why somebody doesn’t do something about that. Then I realized I was somebody.

Well, obviously religion must come from inside.

It was not by accident that the greatest thinkers of all ages were deeply religious souls.

Reality is a question of perspective.
