"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 any manner 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 'For Whom the Bell Tolls'
