No man is an island, entire of itself. Every man is a piece of the mainland, a part of the whole. If a clod be washed away by the sea, then England is the less; as well as if a promontory were, as well as if a manor of thine own or of thy friends were. Every man's death diminishes me, for I am involved in mankind; therefore, send not to ask for whom the bell tolls -- it tolls for thee.
