Under "Writing the Component" the author says that John Milton penned the phrase "No man is an 
island."  It was actually John Donne:

"No man is an island entire of itself; every man is a piece 
of the Continent, a part of the main.... 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."
