Men in Black - Memorable quote
Agent K (Tommy Lee Jones) explaining to Edwards/Agent J (Will Smith):
A person is smart.
People are dumb.
Everything they've ever "known" has been proven to be wrong.
A thousand years ago everybody knew as a fact, that the earth was the center of the universe.
Five hundred years ago, they knew it was flat.
Fifteen minutes ago, you knew we humans were alone on it.
Imagine what you'll know tomorrow...
