As You Like It is a play by the Human playwright William Shakespeare that includes the popular line: "All the World's a stage and all the men and women merely players, they have their exits and entrances and one man in his life plays many parts, his act being seven stages..." which appears on the dedication plaque of the USS Prometheus. (VOY: "Message in a Bottle" set artwork)
In 2364, Q paraphrases a quote from the play, saying that "All the galaxy's a stage", but is corrected by Picard. (TNG: "Hide and Q")
