It’s time to get schwifty in here, Rick & Morty fans. The hit Adult Swim show keeps releasing one great season after another, and every time is worth the wait. The episode “Mort Dinner Rick Andre” was only the beginning of 10 new episodes from season 5 that left us begging for more. When the show first aired in 2013, the pilot episode received an overwhelmingly positive response, praised by critics and viewers alike.

It’s hard to believe that Rick & Morty has been on the air for almost 9 years now, but then again, it’s also hard to believe that a show that revolves around a cynical, misanthropic, and alcoholic genius with no regard for life or consequences could ever become so beloved. But it has. And though the show is known for its creativity and biting humor, fans and critics can agree that the show’s main characters, Rick and Morty themselves, are what ties all of these elements together in one of the most entertaining shows around today.

If you’re here, there are two possibilities: you found this article while scrolling around the internet, or you purposely searched for Rick & Morty quotes on your favorite search engine. But who cares how you landed here? You deserve to get to know more catchphrases from this incredible TV show. While we’re waiting for season 6, let’s take a look back at some of the best Rick and Morty quotes that made this animated series so iconic!

Rick wearing lab coat “Nobody exists on purpose. Nobody belongs anywhere. We’re all going to die. Come watch TV.” — Morty

Rick talking and wearing lab coat “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

Except now that we know Rick's backstory, we know he was totally lying here. He never had a failing marriage, his family was killed and it devastated him.

Rick wearing lab coat “I’ll tell you how I feel about school, Jerry: It’s a waste of time. Bunch of people runnin’ around bumpin’ into each other, got a guy up front says, ‘Two plus two,’ and the people in the back say, ‘Four.’ Then the bell rings and they give you a carton of milk and a piece of paper that says you can go take a dump or somethin’. I mean, it’s not a place for smart people, Jerry. I know that’s not a popular opinion, but that’s my two cents on the issue.” — Rick

“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 working. 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.” - Dr. Wong

Jessica and Morty talking “I had nothing but time. Endless time. At first, it was madness. Then enlightenment. Then madness again. But perhaps it was a gift. I could see the life of the time.

I had nothing but time and still no answer. Time without purpose is a prison. I have glimpsed into the mind of eternity. Perhaps the mind of God. And found nothing but silence.” - Jessica
