View quotes by Holly Valance

No man is an Island, entire of it self; 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 they 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. (Devotions Upon Emergent Occasions)
View quotes by John Donne

With thanks to God we know the way to heaven, to be as ready by water as by land, and therefore we care not which way we go. (When threatened with drowning by Henry VIII)
