Re: [famous_quotes] Figments of someone's imagination
If you mean that everything/everyone is a figment of my imagination, that is Solipsism.
Possibly no author specifically. It is a spin-off of Descartes "I am thinking, therefore I exist," which specifically proves the thinker's existence, but nothing outside the thinker. IOW, if you can think, then you exist, but it doesn't prove that everything else isn't your imagination, including this list.
If you mean something else, please ignore this.

Hi all,
I'm trying to find the source and correct wording of the following:
"We are figments of another's imagination"
I believe the author is Plato.
Thanks for any and all help.
Andi
