Bells of St. Mary's

I love quotes
I just love collecting quotes from books, movies, news, etc. Here's one from the movie Bells of St. Mary's. :)

The Six Senses
To see, to hear, to taste, to smell, to feel, to be. And the most important is the last. The sixth sense is to enjoy the five senses properly. To be - that’s what really matters. It’s like a world inside us, and it’s up to us what we make of it. We see others, we hear others, we know others with our five senses. But how do we really know ourselves? Through our common sense. Common sense is an internal sense. It’s function is to differentiate between the various reports of the senses, or to reduce these reports to the unity of a common perception. Two great words, ‘to be’. Other words grow out of them: ‘I am’, ‘you are’, ‘he is’, ‘we are’, ‘they are’. That sort of takes in everybody. As Shakespeare said, ‘To thine own self be true, and it shall follow as the night the day. Thou canst not then be false to any man.’ And he was so right, Sister! He was just talking about the sixth sense. To put it in my own words, ‘to be, or not to be - that is the question’.
