  3. "All hell broke loose" is from John Miltons "Paradise Lost and Regained"
    John Milton:Born:9 December 1608 Bread Street, Cheapside, London, England and Died: 8 November 1674 (aged 65)Bunhill, London, England
    was an English poet, polemicist, a scholarly man of letters, and a civil servant for the Commonwealth (republic) of England under Oliver Cromwell. He wrote at a time of religious flux and political upheaval, and is best known for his epic poem Paradise Lost. Milton wrote in Latin, Italian and English, and had an international reputation during his lifetime. His poetry and prose reflect deep convictions and addressed urgent, contemporary issues (for example, his celebrated Areopagitica is written in condemnation of pre-publication censorship).
