Many literary works derived their titles from passages in Shakespeare, e.g. Brave New World, The Sound and the Fury.
Another one of my favorites is the poem/novel Pale Fire by Vladimir Nabokov.
The moon's an arrant thief,
And her pale fire she snatches from the sun.
Timon of Athens
Once I got caught in a strange web created by Nabokov and another author which involved the following lines from Pale Fire:
Space is a swarming in the eyes,
and Time a singing in the ears
I was reading the Nabokov novel Ada. In Ada Nabokov mentioned the lines above as quoted by "the invented philosopher Martin Gardiner". I thought I was hallucinating, since coincidentally I was also in the middle of reading a popular science book The Ambidextrous Universe with a nearly identical author - Martin Gardner. Fortunately it happened to be the second edition of the Ambidextrous Universe, which, when I read further, provided the explanation. Nabokov's misspelling of Gardner's name was probably deliberate!
By the way, it probably wouldn't be too surprising if even a humble blog might have had the nerve to derive its title from a well-known passage in Shakespeare.
