Break Free “…Nobody exists on purpose. Nobody belongs anywhere, we’re all going to die.” – Ryan Ridley, Actor The above statement was by Ryan Ridle (Morty), from the animated TV show Rick and Morty. In this series Morty travels through different dimensions therefore knows that his existence isn’t real when he’s in a different dimension other than his own.
