You're probably thinking of John Donne's famous "no man is an island" meditation, which also includes the often-quoted phrase "for whom the bell tolls" (which Hemingway used as the title of a novel).
Meditation 17, from Devotions Upon Emergent Occasions (1624) by John Donne:
"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 friend's 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..."
How about, " No man is an island "? Don't know who said it, but I've heard it before, possibly in a song...
no man is an island!
Well, there is a verse in the Bible that is something like:
"Man cannot live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God."
I'm sorry, I'm not sure if that's verbatim, but it's very close.
