All the worlds a stage - William shakespeare because you could not?

"All the world's a stage" is a famous line from William Shakespeare's play As You Like It. It is spoken by the character Jaques in a monologue in which he compares the world to a stage and human life to a play. The line means that the world is like a theater where everyone is an actor playing a role, and that human life is like a drama in which we all play our parts.

The phrase "because you could not" is not part of Shakespeare's line.
