Básicamente, nuestro carácter está compuesto por nuestros hábitos. Los hábitos son factores poderosos en nuestras vidas. Dado que son pautas consistentes, a menudo inconscientes, de modo constante y cotidiano expresan nuestro carácter y generan nuestra efectividad... o inefectividad. Según dijo alguna vez el gran educador Horace Mann: "Los hábitos son como hebras. Si día tras día las trenzamos en una cuerda, pronto resultará irrompible". Personalmente, no estoy de acuerdo con la última parte de esta sentencia. Sé que los hábitos no son irrompibles; es posible quebrarlos. Pueden aprenderse y olvidarse.

John Donne, Andrew Marvell, George Herbert, Thomas Carew, and Henry Vaughan: these were some of the 17th-century writers who devised a new form of poetry full of wit, intellect and grace, which we now call Metaphysical poetry.

Their work was largely misunderstood or ignored for two centuries, until 20th-century critics rediscovered it, finding in it a deep originality and a willingness to experiment.

Quixano, obsessed by tales of knight errantry, renames himself ‘Don Quixote’ and with his faithful servant Sancho Panza, goes on a series of quests.
