"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.
And, also, beware of zombies."
