State Theta Galleries"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 be the sea, Europe is the less…. Any mans' death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind;and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee...
