The traditional five senses are sight, hearing, touch, smell and taste. This system is attributed to philosopher Aristotle. Five is just the beginning. There are other senses, such as pain (nociception), balance (equilibrioception), time and the ability to discern temperature differences (thermoception).

Quotes
Nothing can cure the soul, but the senses. Just as nothing can cure the senses but the soul. - Oscar Wilde

You grab with your eyes but you receive with your ears. - [|Anthony Magen], [|Australian Forum for Acoustic Ecology]

One sees clearly only with the heart. What is essential is invisible to the eye. - Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, The Little Prince

People who do not listen with all their senses will not hear. (Människor som inte lyssnar med alla sina sinnen, hör inte) (Estonian: Inimesed, kes ei kuula kõigi oma meeltega, ei kuule) - Swedish proverb

From the evolutionary record, the oldest sense that we have is either the sense of smell or the sense of touch, that's what amoebae and bacteria use to navigate around in the world. Hearing is a very refined sense of touch, and of all the five senses, it is the latest to be developed by living entities. - Walter Murch, [|Radiolab]

Llena tus ojos con belleza (Fill your eyes with beauty) - Conversation

The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes but in having new eyes. - Marcel Proust

If a photo is worth a thousand words, a soundscape is worth a thousand pictures. - Bernie Krause, [|Soundscapes - the sounds of the natural world]

Compared with other species, though, humans are missing out. Bats and dolphins use sonar to find prey; some birds and insects see ultraviolet light; snakes detect the heat of warmblooded prey; rats, cats, seals and other whiskered creatures use their “vibrissae” to judge spatial relations or detect movements; sharks sense electrical fields in the water; birds, turtles and even bacteria orient to the earth’s magnetic field lines. - [|Top Ten Myths About the Brain]

It is better to see something once than hear about it hundred times. - Korean Proverb

Touch

Taste
We have five tastes: sweet, sour, salty, bitter and umami (savory), the attraction to proteins. Taste versus flavor - taste is what you get when something We consume flavor, the orchestration of olfaction and the taste system
