Okay, actually, the whole quote is "All the world's a stage, and the men and women merely players. We all have roles, and I play a sad one."
This quote is from As You Like It, and the melancholy Jacques in Act 2, Scene 7. Also, "All the world's a stage" is the motto of the Globe Theatre. To be precise, it's actually "totus mundus agit histrionem" which means "All the world's a stage" in Latin. Okay, study up! This is one of the most frequently mentioned Shakespearean quote of all-time, right after "To be or not to be".
