ernest hemingwayin bir eseri, kitabın girişindeki alıntı;
"no man is an iland, intire of it selfe; every man is a peece of the continet, a part of the maine; if a clod be 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..."
