John Donne (1572-1631)

He said ...
No man is an island, entire of itself;
every man is a piece of the continent,
a part of the main.

but ... the continents are separated by a BIG Ocean ... the ocean has big waves and creatures. hence, many men hide themselves in the continent as an island

What Donne said is that, mankind is interconnected and no man is isolated from another. We are all interdependent and do not exist on our own.

A continent is one of several large landmasses on Earth. Its definition already tell it is not separated by ocean.
The one separated by ocean is island. = =
