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 manor 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.
Listen to Dame Helen Mirren recite the poem on YouTube (opening in a new tab or window). The clip here is Pat, with a midwestern American accent.
Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else's life. Don’t be trapped by dogma – which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don’t let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.
