how do you explain this?
It's so simple to explain that even the most dotardly among us should be able to come up with it. But for those who can't...

About 400,000 more people have googled Shakespeare's, "all the world's a stage", quote than have googled his, "to be or not to be", quote. It is apparently a play (no pun intended) on words relating a physical stage to a stage (ie, period of time) in life.

The reason both quotes are searched so frequently is similarly simple and is so completely obvious that the reason can't possibly be in question.
