Rick Sanchez: “Your boos mean nothing, I’ve seen what makes you cheer.”
Rick Sanchez: “Every breath I take without your permission raises my self-esteem.”
Rick Sanchez: “Listen, Morty, I hate to break it to you, but what people call love is just a chemical reaction that compels animals to breed. It hits hard, Morty, then it slowly fades, leaving you stranded in a failing marriage. I did it. Your parents are gonna do it. Break the cycle, Morty. Rise above. Focus on science.”
Rick Sanchez: “Sometimes science is more art than science. Lot of people don’t get that.”
Terminator (Rattlestar Ricklactica): “My appearance is designed to be familiar and to put you at ease.”
Jerry Smith: “Traditionally, science fairs are a father-son thing.”
Rick Sanchez: “Well, scientifically, traditions are an idiot thing.”
Dr. Bloom: “Don’t move. Gonorrhea can’t see us if we don’t move...Wait! I was wrong! I was thinking of a T-rex.”
Rick Sanchez: “Have fun with empowerment. It seems to make everyone that gets it really happy.”
Rick Sanchez: “I’m sorry, but your opinion means very little to me.”
Rick Sanchez: “Excuse me. Coming through. What are you here for? Just kidding, I don’t care.”
Rick Sanchez: There’s pros and cons to [burps] every alternate timeline. Fun facts about this one: It’s got giant, telepathic spiders, eleven 9/11s, and the best ice cream in the multiverse!
Butter robot: What is my purpose?
Rick Sanchez: You pass butter.
Butter robot: Oh my god.
Rick Sanchez: Yeah, welcome to the club, pal.
Mr. Meeseeks: Having a family doesn’t mean that you stop being an individual. You know the best thing you can do for the people that depend on you? Be honest with them, even if it means setting them free.
Summer Smith: What do you mean you’re having a party? Are some Glip-Glops from the third dimension going to come over and play cards or something?
Rick Sanchez: “Glip Glop?” You’re lucky a Traflorkian doesn’t hear you say that.
Summer Smith: Is that like their N-word?
Rick Sanchez: It’s like the N-word and the C-word had a baby and it was raised by all the bad words for Jews.
Morty Smith: Nobody exists on purpose. Nobody belongs anywhere. We're all going to die. Come watch TV.
Rick Sanchez: What about the reality where Hitler cured cancer, Morty? The answer is: Don't think about it.
Rick Sanchez: Those guys are inside you building a piece of sh*t Ethan!! They're inside you building a monument to compromise!! F*ck them. F*ck those people. F*ck this whole thing Ethan.
Morty Smith: Gaslighting doesn’t exist, you made it up because you’re f****** crazy.
President: Here's the adventure: some kind of alien goo-ga has infested the Kennedy Sex Tunnels. I want it hunted down and taken out.
Morty Smith: "Kennedy Sex Tunnels"?
President: Naturally you'll forget you saw them, along with, in order of national embarrassment: the Truman Cocaine Lounge, the McKinley Hooker Dump, and the Lincoln Slave Colosseum. He didn't free them all. And let me know when you're done.
Mr. Goldenfold: Now who can tell me the common denominator of these two fractions? You don't know or you're just bored?
Morty: Hey listen, you know, if we're all bored over here, wouldn't the common denominator be you?
Dr. Wong: Why didn't you want to come here?
Pickle Rick: Because I don't respect therapy. Because I'm a scientist. Because I invent, transform, create, and destroy for a living, and when I don't like something about the world, I change it. And I don't think going to a rented office in a strip mall to listen to some agent of averageness explain which words mean which feelings has ever helped anyone do anything. I think it's helped a lot of people get comfortable and stop panicking, which is a state of mind [belch] we value in the animals we eat, but not something I want for myself. I'm not a cow. I'm a pickle. When I feel like it. So... you asked.
Dr. Wong: Rick, the only connection between your unquestionable intelligence and the sickness destroying your family is that everyone in your family, you included, use intelligence to justify sickness. You seem to alternate between viewing your own mind as an unstoppable force and as an inescapable curse. And I think it's because the only truly unapproachable concept for you is that it's your mind within your control. You chose to come here, you chose to talk to belittle my vocation, just as you chose to become a pickle. You are the master of your universe - and yet you are dripping with rat blood and feces, your enormous mind literally vegetating by your own hand. I have no doubt that you would be bored senseless by therapy, the same way I'm bored when I brush my teeth and wipe my a**. Because the thing about repairing, maintaining, and cleaning is it's not an adventure. There's no way to do it so wrong you might die. It's just work. And the bottom line is, some people are okay going to work, and some people... well, some people would rather die. Each of us gets to choose.

"Trump COWERS In Bunker As America Rises." The Damage Report, Youtube. [9:04] Trump cowers in an underground bunker as America rises during national protests. John Iadarola and Francesca Fiorentini break it down on The Damage Report. "As protests in response to the killing of George Floyd by Minneapolis police officers continued outside the White House, President Donald Trump was reportedly taken into an underground bunker by the Secret Service for about an hour Friday evening. The New York Times first reported that the president was rushed to a bunker on Friday. CNN senior national correspondent Alex Marquardt confirmed that reporting in an appearance live from Washington, D.C. during a program hosted by Don Lemon. Marquardt discussed the protests that had occurred in D.C. and many other cities across America over the past few nights. Like several other cities, D.C. has imposed a curfew, effective at 11:00 pm local time. Marquardt noted that the protest had been peaceful during the day, but expected that it would start to get “violent” and “unruly” as the sun was setting. The National Guard has been deployed in D.C. to help keep order and was continuing to assist D.C. police and federal park service officers specifically in attempting to maintain distance between the protesters and the White House."

"The most unfathomable schools and sages have never attained to the gravity which dwells in the eyes of a baby of three months old. It is the gravity of astonishment at the universe, and astonishment at the universe is not mysticism, but a transcendent common sense. The fascination of children lies in this: that with each of them all things are remade, and the universe is put again upon its trial. As we walk the streets and see below us those delightful bulbous heads, three times too big for the body, which mark these human mushrooms, we ought always to remember that within every one of these heads there is a new universe, as new as it was on the seventh day of creation. In each of those orbs there is a new system of stars, new grass, new cities, a new sea."—G. K. Chesterton

[22:49] For more than four decades, Angela Davis has been one of most influential activists and intellectuals in the United States. An icon of the black liberation movement, Davis's work around issues of gender, race, class and prisons has influenced critical thought and social movements across several generations. She is a leading advocate for prison abolition, a position informed by her own experience as a prisoner and fugitive on the FBI's top 10 most wanted list more than 40 years ago. Once caught, she faced the death penalty in California. After being acquitted, she has spent her life fighting to change the criminal justice system. Just before the midterm elections, Angela Davis sat down with Amy Goodman in Washington, D.C., at Busboys and Poets to tell her life story.
