Petikan (link):

When someone says they hear voices in their head, they are often thought to be mentally ill. But, as Charles Fernyhough argues in The Voices Within, such voices are better understood as one of the chief hallmarks of human thought.

Indeed, we cannot live without them: we need them, whether to make decisions or to bring a book's characters to life as we read.
