The Hearing Voices Network is a self-help user-run organization for people who experience auditory hallucinations ("hear voices"). Although members may have a psychiatric diagnosis, the group promotes an alternative approach, where voices are not necessarily seen as signs of mental illness.

Famous quotes containing the words hearing, voices and/or network:
“A fearful man is always hearing things.”

“O, let us have him, for his silver hairs
Will purchase us a good opinion,
And buy men’s voices to commend our deeds.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“How have I been able to live so long outside Nature without identifying myself with it? Everything lives, moves, everything corresponds; the magnetic rays, emanating either from myself or from others, cross the limitless chain of created things unimpeded; it is a transparent network that covers the world, and its slender threads communicate themselves by degrees to the planets and stars. Captive now upon earth, I commune with the chorus of the stars who share in my joys and sorrows.”
—Gérard De Nerval (1808–1855)
