The Premise of this latest bit of madness from me is quite simple:

A]] Try to take a well-known Phrase or Quotation, whether from Literature, or Music, or Movies, or from, well....anywhere, but make it "fit" something in Rifts.

--OR--

B]] Twist that same well-known Phrase around to fit into Rifts.

--OR--

C]] Do anything in between.

My own examples follow below. Come up with some of your own, if you can.

HAVE FUN!!!
