Hey! I think that this line was very similar to the speech that K gave J on the park bench in MIB… you know, when K was trying to recruit him. Wasn't it something like, "a person can be smart, but people are stupid" I'm sure that isn't exactly right, but the gist is about the same. I Guess Nietzche is truly timeless.
