+{{LinkText|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 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 - Meditation 17 from Devotions Upon Emergent Occasions 1624.
