Sort of the opposite of this phenomenon: I think it's interesting that Station Eleven starts with a performance of King Lear, and one of the main characters is in that performance and ends up part of a traveling theater troupe that performs Shakespeare plays, and yet the quotation she has tattooed on her arm - "Survival is insufficient," which becomes a kind of unofficial tagline for the book - comes from Star Trek, even though there is a famous quotation from Lear that makes exactly the same point.
