No Man is an Island
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 friends 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
