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 bells tolls; it tolls for thee.
John Donne, public domain
