Aliens\n\n(Alien 2 and Alien II in the US)\n\n"This time it's war"\n\nReleased in 1986\n\nsaid by Rebecca 'Newt' Jorden when talking about said aliens.\n\nOne of my all time favourite movies. Although now 20 years old, I still give it 10/10.

Neil Young said that, but most likely he was inspired by several other quotes from the past.\n"Old soldiers never die, they just fade away."\n"My candle burns at both ends, it will not last the night.  But O' my foes, and O' my friends, it gives off a lovely light."\nI also think James Dean said something similar to this as well...

No one knows where it really comes from.  Many people have hypotheses, but nothing definitive & irrefutable.  I have heard it myself & don't care to ever again.  It was creepy.

I have a reference from 1997 that already says it is old:\nhttp://www.pbs.org/newshour/forum/august97/terror01.html\n\nThe fact that numerous sources fail to give the original source of the quote suggests that no-one actually knows when it was first used.

It's an idiomatic phrase. When a person sleeps it is usually in the darkness. "Sleep is for the pale" is a reference to light skinned persons.

That sounds like the story I heard about the origin of that phrase.  Also, they hired people to stay up all night and stand by with shovels in case the bell rang. That is the origin of the term "graveyard shift" for people who work nights.

From the King James Verson in Matthew 15:14\n\n"Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch."\n\nIn the Webster version the quote is:\n\n"Let them alone: they are blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind leadeth the blind, both will fall into the ditch."

My dad always referenced it as "come see, come saw". Kind of an early version of "been there, done that".

Are you looking for:\n\n"You can't please everyone all the time?"\n\nI don't know who it's by.\n\nI really like the website www.coolquotes.com you might want to search for it there.

To thine own self be true \nAnd it must follow, as the night the day,\nThou canst not then be false to any man.\nFarewell; my blessing season this in thee!\n\nWritten by William Shakespeare - I think it probably applies in this situation.  Your cousins can't lead your life for you.

It's hard to say, Elton John, had some funky lyrics through the days... most likely a referances to ladies and men....It could be an english expression.  I know this most likely doesn't help...

You mean Night, by Elie Wiesel, right?\n\nIt is important, and relevant, because "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." George Santayana\n\nI hope this helps you compose your final paragraph.  :-))

It's been around since the American revolution. It's the official motto of the state of New Hampshire (USA).\n\nThe phrase comes from General John Stark, New Hampshire's most famous soldier of the American Revolutionary War.\n\nLive free or die: Death is not the worst of evils.

I've read Night, Dawn, and The Accident several times each. The quote didn't sound familiar, so I WikiQuoted it...\n\n"A destruction only man can provoke, only man can prevent. Mankind must remember that peace is not God's gift to his creatures, it is our gift to each other." \nIt's from a Nobel Lecture, 11 Decemeber, 1986.
