The line is from the movie "Independence Day", spoken by the President of the United States in preparation for the final battle with the aliens.

The line pays homage to the poem by Dylan Thomas, "Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night", which describes the struggle of the aged against the onset of blindness.
