“Observe, record, tabulate, communicate. Use your five senses.
Learn to see, learn to hear, learn to feel, learn to smell,
and know that bypractice alone you can become expert.”
William Osler (1849 – 1919)
“If you rely only on your eyes, your other senses weaken.”
Frank Herbert, Dune, 1965
“There are four Powers: memory and intellect, desire and covetousness. The two first are mental and the others sensual. The three senses: sight, hearing and smell cannot well be prevented; touch and taste not at all.”
Leonardo da Vinci

Jan Brueghel the Elder, The Senses of Hearing, Touch and Taste, 1618-1620
“All credibility, all good conscience, all evidence of truth come only from the senses.”
Friedrich Nietzsche
“Once you appreciate one of your blessings, one of your senses, your sense of hearing, then you begin to respect the sense of seeing and touching and tasting, you learn to respect all the senses.”
Maya Angelou
“Our bodies have five senses: touch, smell, taste, sight, hearing. But not to be overlooked are the senses of our souls: intuition, peace, foresight, trust, empathy. The differences between people lie in their use of these senses; most people don’t know anything about the inner senses while a few people rely on them just as they rely on their physical senses, and in fact probably even more.”
C. JoyBell C.
“Nothing can cure the soul but the senses, just as nothing can cure the senses but the soul.”
Oscar Wilde
“Love is the poetry of the senses.”
Honore de Balzac
