'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 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.
Nor is any woman, Sue.
And for all the rest of you and for me, when our time comes,

Just let those bells toll and ring and ring....

Re: Jim Nagy “for whom the bells tolls” comment:
Was that from Mrs Dunn’s English Literature Class?
Or was it from Professor Hebbard’s World Lit Class?
I learned more from those guys than I ever did in college.
