Funny… I’d actually always heard it was Newton. I checked and looks like you’re def right here.

I actually expected to find that it was a fake quote. Lately, I keep finding that many of the good quotes are actually fake. It’s like they actually survive on the value of the quote and, if we’re honest, whether someone decades or centuries ago actually said it is only tangential.

But thx for the correction!
