The Oppenheimer quote is one I'll always remember, mainly because of the emotion in context that goes with it. Although, I'm pretty sure Oppenheimer, himself, was quoting the Bhagavad Gita, a Hindu book. So does that really count as a direct quote? However famous it is, I would say not.
I thought I typed in "destroyer" twice...don't think I had a typo, but it didn't take it. Hmm. I agree with the Simsy84, though, that he was quoting from some scripture or another (I'll accept Bhagavad Gita, since I have no reason to doubt it!).
This isn't like a popular saying or something of unknown origin. It's a published poem, so it's pretty easy to confirm "do and die." I agree that "do or die" is a thing people say, but not related to the poem.
