We have Shakespeare's works because he wrote them. You can see stage productions or film, or television versions of his plays. You can read his plays in printed form from libraries or bookstores. You can even find public domain versions online from several sources.
Since Shakespeare wrote about 400 years ago, his works are in public domain. Usually after 50 or 100 years (depending on local law) a work passes into public domain at which point it can be freely traded. This is why dirt-cheap copies of Shakespeare's plays and other older pieces are available, while still-copyrighted material can cost $15 for a paperback. So no, Shakespeare isn't copyrighted - feel free to quote as much as you want! But enough unnecessary dorkiness. Basically, public domain stipulates that his works are available to anyone for any purpose.
