No, this is not a quotation from Shakespeare. Although he uses the word "expectation" a fair bit, he does not say that it is the root of anything, or any similar statement. He uses "heartache" only the once, in that rather famous speech in Hamlet. Since there is no other provenance offered for the phrase, clearly someone wrote it, then thought it sounded like Shakespeare and falsely attributed it to him.

Who was the main character in a pound of flesh by shakespeare?
Actually, there is no play by Shakespeare called "A Pound of Flesh". The phrase is an important phrase in Shakespeare's play The Merchant of Venice. Originally the main characters in this play were Bassanio and Portia, but as time went on, more and more big name actors wanted to play the main character in the subplot, Shylock, to the extent that Shylock is now considered to be the main character (along with Portia). The "Merchant of Venice" himself, a character called Antonio, is not the main character of the play.
