It takes a special kind of stupid to think this refers to domestic violence.
Didn't Newton come up with gravity when something "hit him"

Domestic violence?
I for one would never tire of punching these cretins.
Newton already knew about gravity when the apple hit him.
It helped him to form more solid opinions on the elliptical movement of the planets.
Before Newton it was believed that the planets had circular orbits.
Newton and Halley had been discussing the orbit of 'a comet' when the apple incident happened.
Thus Halley's comet.
Sorry, 'know it all' rant over!

I think the issue is not with the quote, which in itself is innocuous, it's the presentation that seems to have missed the quality check.
The fault lies with splitting the quote with spacing, and a change of typeface.
If the design followed a uniform type without a change and without spacing, it would read as intended -
"A brilliant idea hit her ..."
But the spacing and change in typeface makes it read ...
"A brilliant idea ... Hit her..."
Which is not the same thing at all.
Changes in punctuation, spacing, typeface and layout can completely change what a sentence means - as here, when one missing space and one added comma alters a famous phrase -
"The pen is mightier than the sword"
becomes
The penis, mightier than the sword"
Which is exactly the same words, presented in a way that gives an unintended and unwanted meaning.
I can't believe that the checkers at the design stage can't see the difference, and equally, I can't believe that all the complainers on here can't see it either.
The wrong message jumped out at me on first sight, and that's all I can see, and I am nobody's 'snowflake' thank you very much.
