Quote

All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players.

William ShakespeareAs You Like It (Act 2, Scene 7)

Note

This quote emphasizes an internal standard: viewing life as a performance suggests that we play various roles rather than being fixed in one identity. By recognizing life's theatrical nature, we can approach each phase with curiosity rather than rigid attachment. The metaphor invites reflection on how we perform our roles and what authenticity means within them.
