William Percy Shakespeare.
Oops, sorry. Not Percy. That was someone else.
Just William Shakespeare. Or Shakespeare The Greatest.
Shakespeare wrote about so many things. What did he not write about ? Smartphones perhaps.
And how prolific he was ! He wrote a million plays and a thousand sonnets and bonnets and God knows how many more are yet to be discovered. Maybe when that spaceship gets to extraterrestrial life after all , they'll find a new one in there. Lots of funny looking life forms quoting from it too.

People are always quoting Shakespeare. Shakespeare is probably the second most quoted person ever after Ralph Waldo Emerson*. "The quality of mercy is not strained" or " If music be the food of love" and so on.
If William Shakespeare had a Facebook account and had Checked In At The First Class Lounge , they'd have quoted from that too. Imagine a piece about a First Class lounge beginning with something like " As the Bard of Avon said - 'My cup doth runneth o'er / With champagne' " or something of the sort. Which is why it's fucking wonderful that he didn't.

(* Ralph Waldo Emerson. I've seen entire books filled with RWE quotes. I know nothing about him. I don't know what he looked like. Wore a quote probably ? RWE had a lot of quotes. Great guy to hang with for bad conversationalists like me. Nothing to say ? Non-issue totally.)
