John Donne (1572-1631). It appears in Meditation XVII (17) where he wrote: 'No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main'. That section ends with another famous quote: '... 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'.
John Donne (1572-1631) a Jacobean poet and preacher. Of course it is possible others may have expressed this before John Donne, but he is credited with the line.
Incidentally Hemingway was inspired by the last bit...for whom the bell tolls.
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 if a 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.
The phrase "No man is an island" is from the work of English poet John Donne. It is taken from his Meditation XVII, which is part of his larger work, Devotions upon Emergent Occasions.

"No man is an island" means that individuals are interconnected and cannot exist completely independently. "Each man is an island" suggests that each person is self-sufficient and isolated. The former highlights the importance of connection and community, while the latter emphasizes individuality and independence.
