I’ve a friend who does simultaneous interpretation at the UN and she’s just… good god, how do you even do that. Oh, and she does it in six languages.

And here I am, brain the size of a galaxy, and I fumble my way through every language I speak other than English.

Serious respect for the linguists.

Wow, aren't you humble.

It's a quote from Marvin in Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.
