We live in a world that destroys all bridges that lead to other people. Hemingway explains it at the end of the book. "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 promontory were, as well as if a manor of thy friend's or of thine own were."

Joseph Gabaldon only justifies feeling like we need to be islands out of a sense of self-protection, but he doesn't advocate staying that way. He encourages us to build bridges... to reach out and help people, to spread love and make contact with others.
