"People are dumb, panicky, dangerous animals, and you know this." - Agent K

feels a bit strange to not include the full quote, which changes the sentiment quite a bit:
"A person is smart. People are dumb, panicky dangerous animals and you know it."

Considering the post is about people, and the "person" in the quote can be assumed to represent the reader of said "statistic", the quote functions as provided.
