Isaac Newton
Kepler's laws, although not rigidly true, are sufficiently near to the truth to have led to the discovery of the law of attraction of the bodies of the solar system. The deviation from complete accuracy is due to the facts, that the planets are not of inappreciable mass, that, in consequence, they disturb each other's orbits about the Sun, and, by their action on the Sun itself, cause the periodic time of each to be shorter than if the Sun were a fixed body, in the subduplicate ratio of the mass of the Sun to the sum of the masses of the Sun and Planet; these errors are appreciable although very small, since the mass of the largest of the planets, Jupiter, is less than 1/1000th of the Sun's mass.”
Isaac Newton, The Principia: Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy

Lawren Leo
“Let your yearning for life challenge you to leave behind a second sun which the earth can orbit!”
Lawren Leo, Horse Magick: Spells and Rituals for Self-Empowerment, Protection, and Prosperity
