With the author

Norway is combating climate change. It's an important issue for us. And we are committed to the Paris Agreement.

Erna Solberg

Everything must change and you do what you can with the changes that are made. You can't stop it. You can't fight it. Everybody tries to go back to yesterday, but you can't go back to yesterday. The only time there is, is now.

Marla Gibbs

I cannot say whether things will get better if we change; what I can say is they must change if they are to get better.

Georg C. Lichtenberg

All things must change to something new, to something strange.

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Time does not change us. It just unfolds us.
