No man is an island, entire of itself.

Every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main.

If a clod be washed away by the sea…

Europe is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as well as if a manor of thy friend’s or of thine own were.

Any man’s death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind.

And therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls…

It tolls for thee.

-John Donne-
