I believe that #1 is Billy the Kid in the dark just before he was shot by Pat Garrett.

2# is attributed to Voltaire and I think #8 is possibly Rob't E. Lee, unlike Jackson who wanted to cross the river and rest under the trees.

I'm also going out on a limb that #3 was uttered by the old man who fired the first shot at Fort Sumner and was later recognized by some Confederates at First Bull Run and when asked to repeat, he was the only one to put a round into the Stone Bridge, causing complete panic in the new Union Army. I can't recall his name but Edward Ruffin sticks in my mind.
