No man is an Iland , intire of it selfe; every man is a peece of the Continent , a part of the maine : if a Clod bee washed away by the Sea, Europe is the lesse, as well as if a Promontorie were, as well as if a Mannor of thy friends or of thine owne were; any mans death diminishes me , because I am involved in Mankinde : And therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; It tolls for thee .

JOHN DONNE
