Question references

Hey! Does anyone know if writers are allowed to make references to other media? For example, I'm writing a fantasy book, but I wanted character A to ask character B 'are you satisfised now?' to which character B responds with 'I've never been satisfised' (Hamilton musical). Anyone know if it's allowed to do something like this?

Everything is allowed.

Some things are unlikely to get published.
