Even if the politics needed doesn't exist today, we still need to use our voices to make sure that the people in power are focused on the right things. Because this is a democracy, and in a democracy, people are the ones who run the country.
Quote by -Greta Thunburg
Nothing is being done to stop the climate and ecological emergency from happening and to secure the future wellbeing for future generations.
Quote by -Greta Thunburg
I really miss having a routine because now I've been on the road constantly for several months. I like routines, so it would be nice to get those routines back.
Quote by -Greta Thunburg
My message to all the activists is to just keep going, and I know it really may seem impossible and hopeless sometimes - it always does - so you just have to keep going because if you try hard enough and long enough you will make a difference.
Quote by -Greta Thunburg
It's empowering to know I am doing something, I am taking a stand, I am disrupting.
Quote by -Greta Thunburg
We are not going to be satisfied by politicians saying 'we support you' and then walking away. We won't be satisfied until they meet our demands and act. That's why simply taking a selfie or posting support on Twitter isn't enough. That's why we have to keep striking.
Quote by -Greta Thunburg
I feel strange when I get applauded by people in power... because it's obvious that it's them I'm criticizing, but they can't show that in front of the cameras. It's quite funny sometimes.
Quote by -Greta Thunburg
There's always going to be people who don't understand or accept the united science, and I will just ignore them, as I'm only acting and communicating on the science.
Quote by -Greta Thunburg
Sweden is not a green paradise, it has one of the biggest carbon footprints.
Quote by -Greta Thunburg
The best thing about my protest has been to see how more and more people have been coming and getting involved.
Quote by -Greta Thunburg
Avoiding climate breakdown will require cathedral thinking. We must lay the foundation while we may not know exactly how to build the ceiling.
Quote by -Greta Thunburg
When I have been travelling around to speak in different countries, I am always offered help to write about the specific climate policies in specific countries. But that is not really necessary. Because the basic problem is the same everywhere.
Quote by -Greta Thunburg
Some say we should not engage in activism. Instead we should leave everything to our politicians and just vote for a change instead. But what do we do when there is no political will? What do we do when the politics needed are nowhere in sight?
Quote by -Greta Thunburg
We are at a time in history where everyone with any insight of the climate crisis that threatens our civilisation - and the entire biosphere - must speak out in clear language, no matter how uncomfortable and unprofitable that may be.
Quote by -Greta Thunburg
Most emissions aren't caused by individuals, they're caused by corporations and states.
Quote by -Greta Thunburg
When I was 11 I became very depressed. It had a lot to do with the climate and ecological crisis. I thought everything was just so wrong and nothing was happening and there's no point in anything.
Quote by -Greta Thunburg
People tell me that they are so hopeful when they see me and other children 'school-striking,' and they say, 'Oh the children are going to save us.' But no, we aren't. We are too young to be able to do that. We don't have time to wait for us to grow up and fix this in the future.
Quote by -Greta Thunburg
I'm very weak in a sense. I'm very tiny and I am very emotional, and that is not something people usually associate with strength.
Quote by -Greta Thunburg
The thing that's made me open my eyes to what was happening to the environment and climate was films and documentaries.
Quote by -Greta Thunburg
I don't fly because of the enormous climate impact of aviation per person.
Quote by -Greta Thunburg
I don't think I would be interested in the climate at all if I had been like everyone else.
Quote by -Greta Thunburg
Being young is a great advantage, since we see the world from a new perspective and we are not afraid to make radical changes.
Quote by -Greta Thunburg
When I was maybe eight or nine years old, I first learned about the climate crisis in school. My teachers taught me about it and we saw films and pictures of plastic in the ocean and extreme weather events. Those pictures were just stuck in my head; I thought, there is no point in anything.
Quote by -Greta Thunburg
So when I speak in front of thousands, tens of thousands of people, I don't really get nervous because I know what I want to say and I know what message I want to give.
Quote by -Greta Thunburg
I think that once you fully understand the climate and ecological emergencies, then you know what you can do as well. And, of course, there's a lot of things you can do in your everyday life, but we cannot be focusing on these individual things you can do. We have to see the full picture.
Quote by -Greta Thunburg
I'm not saying that people should stop flying. I'm just saying it needs to be easier to be climate neutral.
Quote by -Greta Thunburg
It felt like I was the only one who cared about the climate and the ecological crisis. My parents didn't care about it, my classmates didn't care about it, my relatives didn't care about this. I mean nobody I knew cared about this and I felt like I was the only one.
Quote by -Greta Thunburg
Nothing is more beautiful than the loveliness of the woods before sunrise.
Quote by -George Washington Carver
Not just beautiful, though – the stars are like the trees in the forest, alive and breathing. And they’re watching me.
Quote by -Haruki Murakami
“Where the road sloped upward beyond the trees, I sat and looked toward the building where Naoko lived. It was easy to tell which room was hers. All I had to do was find the one window toward the back where a faint light trembled. I focused on that point of light for a long, long time. It made me think of something like the final throb of a soul's dying embers. I wanted to cup my hands over what was left and keep it alive. I went on watching the way Jay Gatsby watched that tiny light on the opposite shore night after night.”
