Here’s
one quote by Arthur Schopenhauer.
Arthur Schopenhauer
Arthur Schopenhauer (1788 – 1860) was an influencial German philosopher, known for his pessimism and philosophical clarity.
“Temples and churches, pagodas and mosques, in all
countries and ages, in their splendor and spaciousness, testify to man's need
for metaphysics, a need strong and ineradicable, which follows close on the
physical. ... Sometimes it lets inself be satisfied with clumsy fables and
fairy-tales. If only they are imprinted early enough, they are for man adequate
explanations of his existence and supports for his morality. Consider the
Koran, for example; this wretched book was sufficient to start a
world-religion, to satisfy the metaphysical need of countless millions for twelve
hundred years, to become the basis of their morality and of a remarkable
contempt for death, and also to inspire them to bloody wars and the most
extensive conquests. In this book we find the saddest and poorest form of
theism. Much may be lost in translation, but I have not been able to discover
in it one single idea of value.[17]”
