I've just googled three random sentences that were deleted before as they seemed like "taken from another site". You can see the results.
https://www.google.ru/?gws_rd=s...sty+as+oranges
https://www.google.ru/?gws_rd=s...y+new+neighbor
https://www.google.ru/?gws_rd=s...annes+Festival
So, Google have found nothing.
Maybe, we must have more substantial grounds for deleting sentences, than just "they seem like copied from another website"?
Try to google with quotes "They are less friendly than my new neighbor"
The siurse is Yahoo.answers, as I found out. But it's impossible to find, if one search just They are less friendly than my new neighbor.
I didn't understand, which quotes an author meaned. Maybe, Wikiquotes or something like that.

quotes = quotation marks
Actually, "Apples are as tasty as oranges" is found two times:
苹果同橙,同埋该好吃. Apples are as tasty as oranges. (pein22 gɔ55 həŋ22 tsaŋ225, həŋ22 mɔi22 kɔi21 hɔu55 hiak33)

It is very unlikely that one author copied it from another, or vice versa. So, I believe this sentence is so simple that it's uncopyrightable.
